PA: Fracking Company Ordered to Pay for Well Water Contamination
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Pennsylvania, a court has ordered fracking company Cabot Oil & Gas to
pay more than $4 million to families whose well water was contaminated
by fracking. The landmark legal ruling comes after an eight-year battle
between residents and Cabot. Filmmaker Josh Fox, who featured some of
the families in his film "Gasland 2," said the case sets a legal
precedent for holding fracking companies responsible for water
contamination.
