What's odd in this article is no mention of Canadice or Hemlock lakes, the main water source for the City of Rochester. The Town of Canadice, where both lakes are located, has not passed any fracking legislation despite being pushed by citizens to do so. The City needs to take a more aggressive look at the potential devastating consequences of those lakes being contaminated. The potential massive clean-up costs cannot now be calculated, but the City certainly cannot afford it given its current financial poor health.
