For two years they and fifty surrounding neighbors have been living without potable water. They have lost all trust in PA-DEP oversight over the Gas & Oil Industry. Their story was featured on the front page of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, “Fouled Waters: Woodlands residents search for ways to survive without clean water”, Aug 19, 2012.
