Energy Company Charged In Greene County House Explosion
Pennsylvania Office of Attorney GeneralÂ
This week, my office charged Equitrans, L.P. regarding the energy company’s failure to fix a natural gas leak that caused a 2018 house explosion in Greene County.
A couple and their four-year-old son suffered severe burns in the explosion on October 31, 2018.
An investigation by my office found a natural gas well near the family’s home was deteriorating and leaking gas for years, resulting in methane contamination of the home’s water supply.
This brave family has endured significant hardship, suffering physical and emotional injuries, financial stress, and the loss of their family home and cherished personal belongings.
Pennsylvanians have a right to feel safe in their homes, without concern for large corporations creating environmental hazards. My office will enforce the laws if companies fail to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the communities where they work.

Galeton Pa. October 2023 weather report
You name the kind of weather you like and you may be able to find it in October 2023. We had nearly a week of Indian Summer with near 80 afternoon temperatures, three frosty mornings with most mornings in the 40s and 50s . We experienced 15 foggy mornings. No thunderstorms for the month. It was again a very nice weather month.
The average high temperature is 57 degrees with the average low listed at 37 degrees.
The average rainfall for October is 3.78″. We received 2.05″ and last year the reading was 1.04″. Pine Creek is down somewhat from September, but quite steady thanks to a wet summer. I have been told many times from many “old timers”, especially my weather expert grandfather, “we will not have winter weather until Pine Creek is bank full”. I agree with that saying. The lawns are still being mowed aggressively. The mowers should have been put away weeks ago. I guess we all appreciate having our lawns look like a golf course. It looks like all of Potter Co. is now being kept mowed.
Be advised that the forecast is for some snow on Wednesday. Keep your snow shovels at the ready. The grass will soon turn white.

Rotary Delivers Coats to Area Students
The Rotary Club of Bradford is taking action in the fight against childhood poverty in the Bradford Area School District by providing brand new coats to children in need.
The club partnered with the Blaisdell Foundation, received a matching grant from Rotary District #7280, and used a portion of the proceeds from the Rotary Golf Tournament to raise the funds needed to purchase 168 coats.
Rotarians visited schools in the Bradford Area School District and Head Start this week to deliver the coats which were purchased from the Operation Warm Coats for Kids Foundation.
“In our eighth year of collaboration with Operation Warm, Rotary President Ben Kirsch announced, ‘We are continuing our mission to provide new coats for children.’ The club extends its sincere appreciation to the community partners who play a pivotal role in the success of this important initiative, alongside the dedicated individuals from Bradford Schools and Bradford Rotary who tirelessly work to meet the needs of local children.”
According to Operation Warm: Nearly 17% of American children live in poverty. For a family of four, their income is less than $26,200/year. While many government and private programs work to address food and housing insecurity, only a few programs are able to address the lack of appropriate and adequate clothing.
