Gas exploration banned
In 2011 ENSAW petitioned the residents of Enfield to ban the process of high-volume slick-water hydraulic fracturing. In 2013 the Town of Enfield implemented a law banning gas and petroleum exploration along with production wastes. We are so very proud of our town and its residents.
Petition Results Presentation
Check out the presentation offered to the Enfield Town Board on October 12, 2011.
2017 and beyond
With a gas exploration ban in place, ENSAW is now pursuing various projects aimed at helping Enfield residents conserve energy and save money. Over the coming months, watch for information about community solar, LED light bulbs, Energy Navigator training and much more.
