October 3, 2007 - CLARK, Wyo. - Residents expressed concern during a public meeting Tuesday over news that benzene had been found in the drinking water well of a home adjacent to the site of an August 2006 natural-gas-well blowout.
Mel King, whose water tested positive last week for benzene, said he was happy with the response from Windsor and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

King said he has been advised not to drink, bathe or wash dishes with his water.
