The impact of fracking has compensated for and fairly rapidly. The amount of fresh water used and fouled water created has been rapidly reduced since fracking became a thing. Most of the gains come from obvious fixes particularly storing and reusing the waste water.
And furthermore flammable tap water is literally a media created fantasy. Natural gas is a gas that exists naturally. The same areas where it exists naturally in greater amounts are also areas where fracking is possible. In areas where natural gas exists in greater amounts you need to line your water well with material that is impermeable to natural gas. If that lining fails you get flammable tap water. It's been that way since before fracking.
