Is it?
And, FYI, here's a list of the chemicals added to the water/sand combination used in fracting
Doesn't the above chemical (many of the carcinogenic, I note) read like something YOU want in your kids' water supply?
Do you have any proof? No you say? This is a real problem, real answers are needed, the chemicals you listed are of real concern, yet you have to prove they are in our water table FIRST!!
Instead of yelling wolf, try to work with the O & G industry to come up with real solutions for this concern, the wolf theory is for fairy tales....
You seem to be unable to accept any possibility that fracking contains contaminants, and hence remove yourself from the responsibility of even having to be aware of it. It is pretty sad my friend. Unless you have absolute proof, you will not believe. What will that take? don't you think that will be a little hard with a government and big business trying to keep that evidence from reaching anyone? There IS evidence, you are just not accepting it as as being sufficient. We, as the little people, have to try and get at the information however we can. We have to search for it, because 'they' don't want you to see it, and 'they' have control over everything (media, big business, legislation, regulation, money, police, FBI, etc...) They can silence the little people pretty easily. It is much harder to dissent than to simply go along with a program to avoid being construed as a dissident. In this case, I would say it is most prudent to be a dissident, because this is going to injure very many people more than it already has, including, you, me, and every person on this board... perhaps we will then all have to buy 'filtered drinking water' at some point... yet another ploy for big business to make money, else we get all get sick from drinking out tap water.
They might be doing fracking that would affect the entire New York City watershed. That's 8 million people (non-business hours). Let's hope Fracking isn't dangerous, or a lot of shit is going to go down.
So far, it looks as though some people don't feel fracking is safe:

Hey, I got an idea, test your water, cities do it all the time, you can do it as an individual, I know its a crazy idea but in the 21st century we have these things called Labratories, they are actually everywhere and have lots of expensive stuff to test water.
Google it, I am not kidding, we can test our own water, I am not making this up. I just had my well tested. Anyone with a well should get the thing tested at least once a year, if you get city water, just test it.
Its called technology, use it, it works.
Test the water, sounds crazy, huh.
