Tapwater lit on fire after fracking nearby. Methane in well water can be linked to some fracking that is not done safely and it can be due to background levels in the aquifer. The point of this photo is not to conclusively suggest one or the other. But as we move into getting industry to provide up front risk bonds, they will need to ensure that methane levels in drinking water (and, more importantly, other contaminants associated with fracking) are reliably tested before and after fracking if they are to get their bonds back.
