Matt and Tammy Manning and their grandchildren sit on the porch of their home. They claim their well is polluted with methane


Matt and Tammy Manning recently bought their first home, a long time dream for them. Not long after they moved in their well almost exploded as the water was infused with almost pure methane following fracking nearby. Matt says the water was boiling with methane and it would have just taken a stray spark from his water pump for the whole thing to erupt. His water well now has a no smoking sign fitted to it! His house is near a river where he has fished his whole life and methane can be seen bubbling to the surface like there is a scuba diver down there. Matt (41) lives in the house with his wife and daughter and two grandchildren aged 6 and 4 and is concern about exposure to toxins. His dream home is now almost worthless.
