Investigator: Methane Gas Migration in
Water Well is Possible Cause of Explosions
Methane gas migrating through a water well is being investigated as a cause in explosions that destroyed an Interstate Parkway home in December and a Helen Lane home last month.
That’s according to an investigator for Olean, New York, lawyer Ethan Lyle, who represents one of the homeowners.
The investigator attended Tuesday’s meeting in Bradford Township when government and emergency officials discussed the possible cause or causes of the explosions.
When speaking with WESB and The HERO this afternoon, Lyle said his client has asked that he not comment any further.
Methane gas migration is what led to the problems with tainted water in Dimock. More than a dozen homes in the tiny town in Susquehanna County, where one house exploded on New Year’s Day in 2009, still don’t have safe drinking water.
