Question Regarding WAWS, Heating Water -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

NOTE: I have a number of posts already written and ready to post but I am waiting for responses to the post below regarding WAWS. I will leave this post up until later this evening. After 7:00 p.m. EST I will post the posts I have already posted.

For investors in energy: everything I've seen over the last couple of days is good news for those holding shares in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the Bakken. The story right now is the "surge" in the price of natural gas. It's up another ten cents today. Disclaimer: this is not an investment site. This has nothing to do with buy, sell, or hold recommendations. It is simply idle chatter that one might hear at the Economart in Williston.

At this link, an overview of WAWS, a reader has asked several questions that I cannot answer. Perhaps others can.

There are rumors that WAWS will be adding several (four?) water depots north of the river. True? Locations?

Does anyone know the background of the company operating the WAWS water depot on Second Street West, Williston, ND. Is it Armstrong Hot Water Depots? Will this company assume operating responsibility for the entire WAWS system?

Will all WAWS depots in the future provide heated water?

Is the Bakken/industry moving toward heated water?

Should independents provide heated water?

Is this to allow fracking year-round? See comments below: all water is heated for fracking, to about 80 degrees.
