I think the brother was a baseball prospect at sometime. The boy in the family had asthsma, which may have been related to the fracking, or maybe not, and sometimes the daughter could taste things in the water that tasted different. Few others could taste it, but she could. It was hard for her to drink a whole glass of water... a couple sips and then she'd need to put the glass down. She started getting symptoms of chronic dehydration. Then their cornfields were damaged. They started to get really paranoid about everything. Their dog died, and the local vet left to go live near a lake for the clean water. Then an evil alien showed up, and all the fracking chemicals in the water burned its skin! So it actually worked out for them pretty well in the end.
