Wow. I live near at least two abandoned wells and we pump our water from our own well, which draws from a water supply under 300 feet.
The state monitors its water quality yearly, since we are some of the last homesteaders in our state who maintain access to the local aquifer. Most people around us have switched to city water piped in from the main road.

When you punch holes in Mother Nature, you do so at the risk to your own health.
One more reason I call our species Homo ignoranus.
Climate change is bs, but polluting your own drinking water is insane.

Well how do you like this ****?????

CRANE, Texas -- Rusted pipes litter the sandy fields of Ashley Williams Watt’s cattle ranch in windswept West Texas. The corroded skeletons are all that remain of hundreds of abandoned oil wells that were drilled long before her family owned the land. The wells, unable to produce any useful amounts of oil or gas, were plugged with cement decades ago and forgotten.

Now read this.....

But something eerie is going on beneath the land, where Watt once played among the mesquite trees, jackrabbits and javelina and first drove the dirt roads at 10 years old. One by one, the wells seem to be unplugging themselves. They’re leaking dangerous chemicals that are seeping into groundwater beneath her ranch.....

WTF
