Either don't drink it and stay, or move. Not that complicated to me, I will have a nice 3 Bdrm ready in March, the remodel is right on time, and the weather is incredible down here in Grayton Beach

I see the comments from the sky is falling group have made it. My water is clean. Comes from Greers Ferry lake. The quakes have been coming since I was a small child. I'm sixty. They were not drilling way back then. My check is nice. I love gas wells. Don't like them exercise your right to move.
