Tapwater Catches Fire After Natural Gas Drillers Move In

This Fort Lupton, Colorado couple’s water catches fire. It didn’t use to catch fire, not until the natural gas drillers moved in and contaminated the groundwater.

The couple says that when they complained to the gas company, the company said they conducted a study and found there was nothing wrong with the water that could be affected by the gas and oil drilling going on in their area.

The video is part of a longer in-progress documentary. More videos and blog posts at WaterUnderAttack.com
