Interesting.

You didn't mention "fraking".

Is that permitted in your area.  It is here in Loudoun County VA.

Lenn, Fraking is available but only done after the well is in place. I started these blogs for consumers and agents to get a general idea of what needs to be done to get the ball rolling when it comes to wells.

 

Andrew, you are totally right, water is something we need to protect!
