    Complaint Description and Writeup

    12/19/2023 - RAB - Complainant Lloyd Borella states that a driller used lake water as drilling fluid when drilling wells in the Hidden Valley Lake Corporation neighborhood. Mr. Borella said his well wasn't drilled by Hand, but two neighbors, 1 wishing to remain anonymous and Rachel Hart had their wells drilled by Hand. Ms. Hart told Mr. Borella that she saw Hand Drilling filling their tank with lake water and told them to stop. Mr. Borella said the Harts are not using their well because they think it was contaminated by the lake water and the anonymous neighbor said that they are not using their well for the same reason.

    3/22/2024 - RAB - RAB emailed on 3/7/2024 about needing more statements, but have not heard back. RAB to draft PBA letter to driller to advise them of this complaint.
