Marcellus Drillers Use < 4% of Water Sold by Westmoreland County

Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) said water purchased by local energy companies, which includes shale and conventional drillers, accounts for just 4% of the more than 11.5 billion gallons that were sold over the preceding 12 months. Whoops! Another lie of the environmental left --- that fracking is soaking up all of our precious water supplies --- is now exposed.
