Way back in the dawn of time, 1999 to be precise, my predecessors installed a skimmer well in someone's backyard as part of an underground storage tank cleanup. In order to save money, the company talked the homeowner into allowing it to power the skimmer through the house's electric panel. The company agreed to pay the homeowner's entire electric bill for the duration as a way to grease the skids. The project wrapped up in 2001 and the well was plugged and abandoned. The company kept paying the electric bill until last month. The homeowner sold the house years ago and the new owner saw no reason to rock the boat.
