Flagstaff officials say Desert Mountain Energy’s drilling project on leased state land is within a mile-and-a-half of the city-owned Red Gap Ranch. The C Aquifer below the property will serve as a future underground municipal water supply. City officials worry the project could contaminate or disrupt the water source, especially if the company uses hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to access oil, gas and helium. The city feels this is a critical public health and welfare matter … Our water experts are concerned about the safety of the water supply and the damage that could be done to that C Aquifer that is of such importance to the City of Flagstaff, says city spokesperson Jessica Drum.
