Title: Shale Drilling Puts Pressure On Region's Water Supplies
Post by: irishbobcat on August 03, 2012, 11:54:56 AM
 
During the drought of 2012...nice to know shale drilling continues to tax our water resources even more....

Question, why are stories like the one below not reported or printed in the Vindicator....the "people's paper"?

Thank you Business Journal Daily for covering both sides of the issue....

Not much for us to worry about:

"We're not concerned about drought or the impact of the industry," says Tom Holloway, director of the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. MVSD supplies treated water to the cities of Youngstown and Niles and the village of McDonald from the Meander Reservoir. The reservoir level is down just more than seven inches, not nearly enough to constitute concern."
