‘La nostra acqua è vitale. Il petrolio non è “: all’interno del villaggio francese che dice” non “al grande petrolio. Ci sono timori che una fuoriuscita di petrolio possa fare acqua intorno a Parigi.

This is about 57 more barrels (9.000 litres) of oil per day versus the only available source of drinking water for 150.000 people.

It’s not just a few people in a village saying no, they’re also supported by Eau de Paris, the public water company in Paris. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eau_de_Paris

From the article:
«Bridge Energies said it produces 9,000 litres of oil, or about 57 barrels, a day in Nonville. With the proposed wells, the oil company aims to pump around twice as much and reach levels similar to 2016, before a decline in production.»

And:
«An hour’s drive south of Paris, a small oil operation is causing a big stir as local officials fear an oil spill could threaten the water supplies of 180,000 inhabitants in the French capital and its region.

“Our water resources are vital. The oil isn’t,” says Franck Beaufreton, mayor of neighbouring Villemer which was part of the legal effort. The village is home to a spring that supplies water to the region and argues that an accident would have major consequences.

“We don’t have any other way of getting drinking water,” he continued.»

And:
«In a statement, Eau de Paris, the Parisian public water company, which collects, treats and distributes the resource, hailed the decision as a “first victory.” They warn that the project is too dangerous so close to critical water infrastructure, especially as Bridge Energies has to cross two underground water tables to reach the oil at 1,500 metres deep.»
