Source of Gas in Huerfano County Wells Remains Mysterious
August 28, 2007 3:17 PM
The prime suspects in what's causing high levels of methane gas in some water wells in Huerfano County have been crossed off the list.
A few weeks ago we reported that some water wells in the River Ridge Ranch subdivision near the town of La Veta tested positive for dangerously high levels of methane, a form of natural gas. Some suspected that recent drilling of new natural gas wells was to blame, and the company drilling them, Idaho-based Petroglyph Energy, voluntarily shut down all of its wells just in case.
