At about 280 feet, they approached me and said that there was a break
in the wire, and that they could either fix the break in the wire AND
replace the pressure tank, and control panel for $2800 total. OR they
could do the whole thing (go down the extra 120 feet, pull the pump
out, replace the pump, wire, control panel and water reservoir all for
$4900 total.


I didn't get a good answer as to how all these things can start with a
short in a wire.


I think it would be easier just to give them your checkbook with a half
dozen signed checks. *Maybe you can sign them up to your on-line banking so
they can transfer money whenever needed.

I'd find another well service.


Exactly. That whole thing screams of "scam". I'm surprised at the
number of posters who are taking them seriously.
