MORGANTOWN (AP) — Authorities in Harrison County say a
gas drilling operation in Sardis inadvertently re-pressurized a handful
of old wells, creating backyard geysers and minor flooding.
Paul
Bump of the Bureau of Emergency Services says it happened Wednesday
morning. At least one house was flooded by a 10- to 12-foot geyser.
At others, the water gushed into yards or garages.
No one was injured. The affected homes are on public water, so Bump says there is no danger to anyone, just a nuisance.
The
Department of Environmental Protection says Colorado-based Antero
Resources was in the early stages of drilling and was using only water
when it hit an aquifer. When it pressurized the well, it re-pressurized
the old water wells, too.
DEP spokeswoman Kathy Cosco says an investigation is under way.
