Information meeting about gas extraction and subsidence
Gas has been extracted in Tytsjerksteradiel since 1974, and this is continuing to expand. Gas extraction is one of the causes of land subsidence in our municipality, which can lead to problems with our water system. These developments are causing increasing concern and questions in the community.
Where can residents go with these questions? As part of our duty of care to our residents, we are organizing an information meeting about soil subsidence and gas extraction in Tytsjerksteradiel.
