Texas Gas Drilling Information Sheet

If your source of drinking water comes from a private well and there are gas drilling activities going on in the area, it is important to test your well water to establish a baseline water quality. It is possible the gas drilling may affect the quality of your well water and without testing prior to the gas drilling, you have no proof that your well water has diminished in quality, thus no legal recourse. The following test packages are certified and are recommended for those well owners in this situation. Establishing your water quality is extremely important and the more you test for, the more information you will have about your water quality and how it may have been affected.
