Selling Your Water?

Does anyone know anything about Oil/Gas Co. wanting to buy water from Landowners? A Well supposedly needs 3-5 million gallons of water, where do they get the water from? Our property has a Creek and Springs on it with plenty of water flowing for nine months out of the year. RUMOR has it, they are paying anywhere from $.50 to a $1.00 a gallon.

I like that idea....My company produces 5000 gallons of waste water per day and we pay to get rid of it....we are in Columbus, ohio, and can deliver it easily.

If it were $1 gallon I guess my $2100 to build a pond was a real good investment.

There are a few places selling water in Pa and the going rate is $2 to $6 per 1000 gallons, depending on quality.

The two numbers I have heard are $0.15 and $0.17 per gallon. Also Jefferson County Ohio commissioners on Thursday  made a deal with Chesepeake, $7.50 per 1,000 gallons of water.

.05 = $262.50 a truck load, i would sell mine for that all day long  

you should feel lucky, the state says they own the water here in pa and you cant sell it at all .
