What about Fracking??? Ground water maters as much as surface water.

Tell that to the folks in North Central PA.  Interesting that the Oil companies are nor disclosing what they put in their flush water...they are protected from doing so since it's 'proprietary information'. 

Water is too precious to screw it up.

Hot issue around here. Farmer's are not in favor of it. 

Your family had any experience with it?

Yeah, it's a strange subject, some family members are for it and have leased land for wells while others are totally against it, my brother knows people that have lost all newborns from their herds due to the water.

Scary...

NY State has those Finger Lakes there...the link goes to a Dept of Health site that says what fish not to eat and how often to eat other's.  So much for pristine 'fresh' water.
