Surface Water Lines

Temporary above ground water lines are being sought be companies in an effort to transport water from impoundment ponds to well sites for fracking purposes.

These temporary water lines run above the ground across the property and typically remain in place for less than three months. However, their location and duration may greatly impact and restrict the use of your property during critical and unwanted time periods.

Do not be fooled into believing that you must consent to the placement of water lines across your property because it allegedly permitted by the terms of your lease! This statement by company representatives is not necessarily true. You may may have the ability to say "No" to above ground water lines or require compensation for placement of above ground water lines on your property.

If you are approached by a company seeking permission to install temporary above ground water lines on your property, CALL US IMMEDIATELY at 570-307-0702. Do not be tricked into signing any documents without having Attorney Doug Clark review the documents, and provide you with full knowledge of what you would be signing away, and what would follow after you were to sign the company-drafted forms.

Do not leave any compensation or property protections on the table because your were misinformed or did not know they were available.

We have successfully negotiated above ground water lines for CONSIDERABLE COMPENSATION and STRONG PROPERTY PROTECTIONS on behalf of our landowner clients in the Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale region.

Never sign ANYTHING presented by the company. Instead, contact us!!!



All landowners must learn from the unfortunate mistakes made by others early on in the process. We make it our commitment to keep all of our landowner clients educated and well informed.

Below are images of temporary water lines with wooden mats and a couple with fiberglass mats.

PA Gas Leasing Poll

As a landowner do you favor a "Severence Tax" based on production volume or an "Impact Fee" based on the number of wells drilled?
Whether and how Pennsylvania should tax the natural gas industry remains a hotly debated issue:
Severance Tax - with revenue shared with the entire state. (11 votes)
Severance Tax - with the majority or all revenue directed to counties impacted by drilling. (22 votes)
Impact Fee - with revenue shared with the entire state. (0 votes)
Impact Fee - with the majority or all revenue directed to counties impacted by drilling. (12 votes)
I favor no severance tax or impact fee. (10 votes)
