The only bits of the "firewater" film that gets shown on the
news is one chap setting fire to gas coming out of his tap.
They never explain where he gets his water from. Borehole or
piped from local water company? The American fracking plants
seem to be in the middle of nowhere, so I'd guess borehole.

I can understand gases leaching into a borehole, but how are
gases going to leach into the water mains? The gaseaus
leachate is going to enter the public water system at the
collection stage, prior to processing, and I would most
expect it to dissipate from reservoirs.
