I wonder if lemons can’t be made out of such lemonade situations. If a water well produces methane, then put a separator in the well and bottle up the methane. And/or supply natural gas to yourself and/or neighbors. And/or sink community wells for that purpose.
When I live near Cadillac Michigan I knew a guy who had a system that let the gas bubble off and burn in a couple of gas lamps in his yard. The water itself was fine.
You know that the statists in both parties will have made that illegal without a 15 year environmental study and many tens of thousands spent on the proper licenses.
