I saw that on the news the other night. They're not to far from me. The water is not burning, they get natural gas aerated into the water in the well and when they turn on the water, it kinda spits and sputters out of the faucet like there is air in the line, but it's not air, it's NG. They make degasifacation systems, but they are not cheep.

Did they actually say what happend with the well? I could see either a casing leak or a shallow zone and come up around the casing or surface pipe. A few years ago a big gas zone was discovered in my area and the well blew put, which in turn the gas got in the water table and created geysers in the middle of fields 10-15 miles away

I think they said there was just a lot of NG in the area and it was in the ground water.

so it really aint coming from the wells then. NG and oil do seep up thru the ground in places that have shallow zones.
