Another Williams Spill in Flower Mound

There has been another spill at the Cummings site in Flower Mound. According to the Cross Timbers Gazette, 40 barrels of drilling mud spilled at the Cummings site. That makes 3 spills since April of this year at this drilling site. Williams temporarily stopped drilling activity during the clean up.

This is another example of why natural gas drilling does not belong near homes and schools.


The Cummings site is very close to where Williams wants to put a Centralized Compression Facility which will be located just on the border of Flower Mound and Bartonville currently in a ETJ. Unfortunately this area falls under county regulation and not either of the towns ordinances. A day care center and homes are located across from the proposed site.

Williams should not be allowed to put any production facility in until they become more responsible.

Williams is sure having bad luck since Flower Mound got a new Mayor and Council Members
or is it since Flower Mound has a new Mayor and Council Members we are hearing more about Williams bad luck?

That's 3 "rare" incidents in the last 6 months. Maybe someone should check the definition of "rare".

I believe one of the 4 was at different site. Williams wants to spread the love.

Flower Mound gives them the most hell and 3 out of 4 of their spills are in Flower Mound. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.

I think the number of spills has to do with who is running the town. They don't believe in keeping this kind of info secret. The town put out a press release yesterday evening. No more sweeping these things under the rug.
Hey Williams, you are being watched very closely.

In the interest of saving time and bandwidth, from now on just tell us when Williams DOESN'T have a spill. Thanks.
