Description and Writeup
1/5/2024 - RWR - Complaint Synopsis
Well owner (Martha Ryal) hired an unlicensed individual (John Quantos (sp)) to perform work on her well.
John Quantos – Company = “Paint Works” – 1700 Stallings Rd. Humboldt, TN
He worked on several parts of the well/pump system. Notably, he buried the well-head improperly and complainant mentioned that well owner had some trouble with brown water.
Complainant mentioned that the unlicensed installer also mows her grass for her and has been spraying round-up around the well-head and cover.
Complainant likely has the evidence necessary to proceed with an NOV.
Cummings Well Service (A legitimate/licensed individual) was hired to resolve the problems.
Complainant was advised that I would send him the link to the web-page where he can track the complaint status once I received an email.
1/8/2024 - RWR - received documentation (receipts, invoices, photographs) of the work performed at the well-head.

1/30/2024 - WNL- Certified mail is being returned. Sent NOV back out by mail, uncertified.
