 | Rebecca has lived in the Susquehanna Valley for almost twenty years. She lives just down the road from a large fracking operation and below a hill where a 36-acre compressor station will be built. Her neighbors have sold to investors, and she has put her own house on the market. Her story, sadly, is not unusual. | |

 | Ray built his own house fifteen years ago and never had trouble with the water until the gas company began to drill across the street. His water is a yellowish brown, and contains a long list of toxic chemicals. His neighbors have the same problem; many have sold their houses to the gas company and moved away. | |
| This House | ||
 | Tammy and her husband bought their home two and a half years ago, only to have their water well erupt like a geyser when fracking began nearby. Tests showed their water contains toxic chemicals and the nearby swimming hole is off limits because of bubbling methane and contamination from chemical spills. | |
