In 2008, rural residents five miles east-northeast of Pavillion complained of discolored water, foul smells and illness that they suspected was due to fracking, and the EPA opened an investigation. In 2010, the EPA investigators warned the affected rural residents not to drink their water after finding benzene, naphthalene, phenols, and metals in the water and recommended that the affected rural residents use fans while bathing or washing clothes to avoid the risk of explosion. As of September 2012 testing and discussion about the results was still ongoing. Eventually, in 2016, a study confirmed that chemicals used in fracking impact drinking water that is generated from wells. Pavillion was a subject in the 2010 documentary film Gasland, directed by Josh Fox.
It important to note that natural gas in the water has always been an issue in the area. Kids where lighting water on fire decades before the first well was ever drilled.
