A gas drilling operation in Sardis, West Virginia hit an aquifer, which unfortunately repressurized a few old wells.
One family had a geyser in the back yard, with water shooting about 10 to 12 feet in the air. The luckier families just had "small gushers". (Um, something can't be small and a gusher at the same time can it?)
Apparently, as usual, even the DEP does not know what was in the fluid being injected into the ground and (oopsie) the aquifer, because a DEP spokeperson presented a relaxed stance, saying the drilling company was, " using only water and possibly a nontoxic soap when it hit the aquifer." (Fuel Fix)
