More likely the Geezer's still was leaking. By humans OR nature, flammables can get into the water supply. Cuyahoga River! Is there much to recommend this as real, though? Wasn't a continuous shot, and even if it was, it kind-of looks like the flame came up from the sink, which would be less like natural gas behavior and more of a liquid fuel (Coleman? Charcoal lighter? Looked like alcohol on the faucet at the end). 🐛

Well, it sure ain't dozens and dozens of rats in the pipes farting all at once. Somebody is responsible. One thing even four and five year old children know about water is it is not supposed to catch fire!
Perhaps they should send kindergarteners to explain the situation to the gas company.

I like the fact that the gas drillers have 'looked into the matter and found no need for concern about public health and safety.'
But suggest that people in the area buy bottled water.

Nice to know their looking out for us, eh?
