What is the name of your state? North Carolina
I had a new house put in and contracted through the home company to have a well dug. I marked where the well was supposed to go, but when i got back in town from traveling for work i learned they were drilling in the wrong place. I asked them why they were drilling there, and they replied that they didnt see my sign and just backed up and dropped the drill.
My sign was approx. 1 foot by 3 foot and was marked with WELL in big letters...
They were budgeted at 6,000 but ended up coming back with a 10,000 bill. Not only this after the fact i realized that the well is not even on my property. My neighbor had questions and had the property resurveyed and sure enough the well is about 10 foot on his side of the line. IF they had drilled it where i wanted the well, I would have been fine.
On top of all of this, I now have a$10,000 well that is worthless. I cant drink it or use it for cooking, etc because it has so much metal in it. Has a foul smell, Breaks my skin out, and is ruining my appliances. Ive quoted and it is going to cost me approx. 3 to 5 thousand dollars to get a filter system.
Curious what my options might be. thanks!
