Fiery Faucets Now A Concern In 8 Colorado Homes – wcbstv.com — Wait until all that cap and trade CO2 is pumped into the earth and it leaches into the water supply. SODA POP!
It appeared to initially be an isolated incident in Fort Lupton, but now more reports are surfacing about water in homes being flammable, CBS station KCNC-TV reports.
Jesse and Amee Ellsworth said last week they have so much natural gas in their water that they can light it on fire. The gas has apparently been leaking into their water well from a nearby gas well for the last six months. They say the gas companies are working on a well water treatment system, possibly for the entire community, but that any solution will take time.
Seven more homeowners in the area have since come forward with the same problem but with possibly a different cause.
It’s a Christian anti-gay conspiracy to prevent the use of household enemas to rinse the rectums for those who own a dungeon/basement.
That just doesn’t even make sense.
Is the water in these taps perhaps from the rain that only the state is allowed to capture and use?
I want one!!!!!!

If you are referring to the article it makes perfect sense.
If you are referring to Angel’s post, well you need to get out more.
Install a natural gas generator and buy bottled water. Problem solved.
#3 They’re water pumping from a well drilled on their land (for you city dwellers that’s very common in rural areas). They’re getting natural gas along with the water. I saw a story on CNN HLN earlier on in the week about the first couple to report the problem.
The video of water and flaming jets coming out of the kitchen faucet was pretty cool.
If this has been an on going event why haven’t they just tapped the wells for natural gas? BTW putting a lighter up to the faucet: Ingenious.
Sounds to me like the need another separator or two on their line. My company deals with quite a few different OG companies and every single one of them have this same problem.
Of course, none of the companies I deal with use the water to feed a community. It it usually pumped back into the ground.
They should count themselves lucky they’re not being charged for stealing natural gas.
#10, Funny you should mention that.
You have to have a license to burn off excess gas on a well . . .
Very interesting. Makes me wonder if radon gas is ever a deep water well contaminant?
My uncle who lived in South Dakota could light his tap water in the morning. As I kid I thought that was so cool! His water tasted horrible, though.
That would be so cool hooked up to the garden hose on mist.
No need for a water heater!
Here’s an example:
#13, Greg,
Yes, I’ve tasted water with NG before. Considering the sulfur compounds it should taste terrible.
#12, Sargasso,
Makes me wonder if radon gas is ever a deep water well contaminant?
Damn you!!! You had to ask and I had to look it up. It turns out the answer is YES.
My concern is even though the specific risk itself is low, added to all the other marginal risks must have some accumulative effect.
