A lawsuit has now been filed over a saltwater purge in Kingfisher County.
The water bubbling up from the ground was first discovered in the summer of 2019 and state regulators are still baffled.
Right now, every minute around a half gallon of saltwater is coming up from the ground in Omega along the Kingfisher-Blaine county line.
A year ago, the flow rate was about three gallons per minute.
”It’s pretty nasty, heavily salted brine water,” said attorney Justin Hiersche.
Hiersche is representing the landowners now suing energy and water disposal companies.
“The vegetation around the purge is actually dead,” said Hiersche.
