A natural gas company that is drilling in the area had been supplying the homes with fresh drinking water, but the company has stopped, saying the communitys well water is safe. So many people disagree, however, that fresh water supplies are now starting to come in from some unlikely sources. A water truck from the city of Binghamton, New York showed up on Carter Road in Dimock Monday to deliver water. The mayor of Binghamton heard about Cabot Oil and Gas stopping water deliveries and said he wanted to help, and thats not the only out-of-stater getting involved in this situation. Its certainly not the Binghamton city streets this crew is used to. A water truck from the city 33 miles to the north was making its way from home to home along Carter Road near Dimock delivering water. That is what Cabot Oil and Gas was doing up until last Wednesday when the the state DEP said it no longer had to deliver water to residents on the road. I used what we had sparingly. Were just at the bottom now. If it didnt come today, I was out of water, said Carter Road resident Ray Hubert. Binghamtons mayor, an environmental lawyer, said this is just one community helping a neighbor, but Carter Road has become a national symbol for environmental groups. People there have been in a dispute with Cabot for three years. They said drilling contaminated their wells. Cabot said it didnt. Cabot said it has done the work to make well water there safe. DEP doesnt want a drink, EPA doesnt want a drink. Nobody wants a drink of it but they say I can. Hows that make sense, huh? Hubert asked. Other municipalities in New York state also said they are considering sending water trucks to Dimock. There are environmental groups lining up too, to help the people there get their water. No doubt the people up there treat us better than my own neighbors, thats sad to say, said Carter Road resident Craig Sautner. The water truck came to the Sautners house too. Another one is coming Tuesday. Celebrities and politicians are sending that one from New York City. The Sautners are heading to be part of that media event in the Big Apple. Right now, New York state is considering lifting a ban on gas drilling. The New Yorkers, they havent had any problems yet. They realize whats going on here. They come down and want to help us. We appreciate it, said Julie Sautner. The Sierra Club paid for Binghamtons water delivery Monday to avoid any legal obstacles involved in one municipality delivering water to another. Some Carter Road residents think Dimock Township supervisors tried to obstruct that. Supervisors said they did not. At a packed meeting Monday night, the township supervisors voted unanimously to not request mutual aid for water delivery. Most people who spoke at the meeting were against having water delivered from other municipalities. It has nothing to do with us, we all have private wells in Dimock Township and we have nothing to do with where they get their water delivered. We all pay our taxes, said Lettie Ellis of DImock Township. The mayor of Binghamton was at the township meeting. After the meeting, he promised some residents to continue trying to help.

Employed in combination with improved techniques for drilling horizontally through selected rock layers, fracking has opened up vast natural gas deposits in the United States and elsewhere. At the same time, the rapid rise of the practice, frequently in regions with no history of intensive oil and gas drilling, has raised concerns over its economic and environmental consequences.

Residents from Susquehanna County are having their day in federal court in a fight against Cabot Oil and Gas over water contamination. Two families from Dimock Township are suing Cabot, claiming their water was contaminated from natural gas drilling back in 2009. Jury selection began Monday at the federal courthouse in Scranton. The Hubert family and the Ely Family, both from Dimock Township, are the only residents who did not settle with Cabot Oil and Gas over water contamination. In 2012, 40 other residents settled with the company. On Monday, the two remaining families began their fight in federal court. It has been seven years now, said Scott Ely. Its been a long haul just to get to this point, a lot of ups and downs, but I think we are going to prove something and today is the start. The Ely and Hubert families claim their drinking water was contaminated by the drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale. Now they want their voices heard and their water fixed. You have to really live it in order to feel it, said Monica Ely. I mean we havent had clean water since my son was in kindergarten and now hes in seventh grade, so they dont know any different and its not a normal way of life. The Elys were offered more than $150,000 and the Huberts $50,000 but those two remaining families did not believe the offers matched the struggles they have been dealing with. Ray Hubert tells us this fight isnt just about money. We are not here for greed. We just want things back the way they were. There is a lot to it. Its not just about any one thing, Scott Ely added. A spokesperson for Cabot Oil and Gas told us the company wont comment while a jury is being selected. Jury selection was completed Monday afternoon and opening statements are expected Tuesday.
