Joint Well Agreement: remedies for non-compliance
We have nine houses sharing a joint water well located on the property which we recently purchased in WI. Two homes have not paid for annual electrical well pump $ reimbursement, nor have they paid their share of repair expenses as per the joint well agreement which we have all signed. We have sent them four notices by mail regarding this issue. Before begining legal action (''Small Claims'' court), are there any requirements as to amount of time past due or notification requirements which we should first meet?

Re: Joint Well Agreement: remedies for non-compliance
Claims expire when the appropriate statute of
limitations is exceeded. That varies depending on
they type of claim. Contract claims run 6 years.
Negligence claims usually run 3 years from the
date the negligence is discovered. Your claim
appears to be based upon contract. I would
recommend you have a qualified attorney review your
recorded shared well agreement to advise you as to
which rights you may have against the transgressing
parties.
