I am fortunate
While I live in the last town before farm country, my water supply from Lake Erie and supplied by a county wide water authority. Beyond me people depend on groundwater wells. Up to now the biggest problem was the location and condition of the septic field. And then along came the frackers. Fracking creates a lot of very polluted water than must be either trucked to a treatment plant or re-injected into a deep well (unless you are in Pennsylvania where the Teabagger government will let you dump it anywhere). In theory this works fine. In practice there are a lot of problems developing from ignorance, carelessness or neglect.
