If I read the article correctly, he is not suing to stop the fracking.. He is suing to stop the construction of a water tower for fracking. IMO, there is a difference.

I think the hood they live in is concerned with the water tower and traffic hurting the value of the property's in the hood.

Agreed and if I could change the title I would but I can't. But can we agree that if they don't have the water they can't frack. I am in no way condoning fracking. Just thought it was highly ironic.

Oddly, I can relate as I think it is safe.

We had a well drilled within 100 yds (give or take ) of our household waterwell back in the 80's . It , like most of the wells in the area were fracked. Never had any problems with the water. But I sure wouldn't want something like a water tower or anything that meant a large number of trucks traveling up and down the road in the area.

I am on his side...it appears that it is multiple people taking action and he is just one of several on the law suit. Water towers....unsightly wind farms....they are forever....an oil well is in and out in a month...we all need energy equally.

No doubt about the difference. Some will ignore the difference though since they have agenda.

"He and his neighbors had filed suit to block the tower, saying it is illegal and would create “a noise nuisance and traffic hazards,”

Uhh… if it's illegal… then????

People are trying to tie this to fraccing… but… come on…

Talk about a one sided article the man isn't against fracking he is against the eye sore that will be created by the tower, huge difference there but based on the article you can barely glean that info out for the rant he has above it and below it against fracking.

Will add why are they building a water tower instead of just regular 500 barrel or bigger tanks that sit on the ground? Really no need for a tower either as the only reason for a tower is to get water pressure and the water trucks have pumps so that is not necessary in this situation. Any of yall seen a tower built to get water instead of the normal on the ground fresh water station?
