Thousands of cases of fracking-related water contamination across the U.S.
Cabot Oil and Gas must pay millions of dollars to the families involved in the federal civil suit. The Hubert family and the Ely family, both from Dimock Township, did not settle with Cabot Oil and Gas over water contamination. In 2012, 40 other residents settled with the company.
The Hubert and Ely families allege Cabot’s natural gas drilling contaminated their drinking water.
The jury awarded $2.75 million to the Ely family. The Hubert family is awarded $1.49 million.
