Pa. American Water says Pittsburgh-area tests negative

Posted: May 16, 2011

Pennsylvania American Water Co. said Monday that several tests of Pittsburgh-area river water and treated drinking water did not turn up elevated or harmful levels of radioactivity or other pollutants.

The tests were prompted by fears of contamination from Marcellus Shale natural gas-drilling after the New York Times reported in March that inadequately treated drilling waste might be making its way into drinking water supplies.    - Andrew Maykuth
