    Complaint Description and Writeup

    WNL - Will Little, JEFO inspector, on 6/28/2023 inspected a residential well in Lakepoint Estates Subdivision located in Huntingdon TN. No 911 address at this time. During the inspection and a later conversation with a driller, it was determined that an unknown person broke the well seal to connect power to the pressure switch.

The owner's voicemail box is full.

    Will Little spoke with C&J on 7/6/2023. Carl Johnson, Lic. # 1086, has agreed to leave his wells in a condition that will provide an electrician a way to charge the system without breaking the well seal.
