Auburn council votes against accepting gas drilling water
07/08/11
The Auburn City Council has passed a resolution to ban the city from accepting gas drilling wastewater into their sewage treatment facility. Our Katie Gibas tells us what led council members to this decision.
AUBURN, N.Y. -- The Auburn City Council has passed a resolution that will ban the city from accepting gas drilling wastewater into their sewage treatment facility.
A rally, petition and a public outcry led to decision last night. Despite a presentation by the water treatment plant's manager on the water having been successfully treated at the plant for the past 10 years, the public was still concerned that the plant could be responsible for treating hydrofracking water in the future. City officials thought it was time to take action.
The measure was approved with a vote of 3 to 1, and could result in a loss of $600,000 a year in revenue.
