What happens when your water turns salty? What happens when an oily substance starts coming into your home?

Boarman discusses her family's battle over alleged oilfield wastewater contamination in their well water. The Merediths share the story of discovering oil-like material and methane concerns at their home and their efforts to get answers from state regulators.

The conversation explores:

• Alleged groundwater contamination
• Oil and gas wastewater disposal
