Not unique in many parts of the country. Here in central Illinois it
is common to drill a water well and have methane along with the water.
The phenomenon is probably related to coal deposits, so likely any
state that has such deposits overlaid with aquifers will see methane
in the water. We have a few fortunate locations that have no need for
the commercial product, but some variability in others necessitates a
propane or commercial NG backup. For the lady in Colorado, she merely
needs to keep her faucets closed. That works fine here.

Has to be a well -- unless she has porous pipes or the city managers are
drunk.

Reminds me of a gas leak story I have heard repeated. Who knows if it
is true, but here goes.

A couple smelled gas so they went into the next room to investigate.
The woman turned the light on. The husband said.....you are not
supposed to turn a light on during a gas leak. When he switched it
off the spark ignited the gas.

Oh dear, I should not have, but it made me chuckle.

It's believable. Having worked with enough switches, they
are far more likely to spark when you turn something off.
