Fruit from California!

Has anyone heard that fruit from California is being watered with waste water from Chevrolet or fracking water?
Someone I know warned me about Halos and some other fruit with carcinogens.  I tried to look it up.  I know a lot of times this stuff isn't real so I looked it up on Snopes. Thank you, Dee

There was some news about fracking water being used to water crops, I believe in the Central Valley, and yes the news was dirst announced sometime ago. Here in California people were furious, not only about the toxins but that during severe drought, while we were all conserving water, this huge wastefipul project continues without regard to anything but their profits.
