Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Well the problems with this is I bought a house in Marshfield in 2014. We did a sub division on the property which required that both houses on the lot be put onto its own water line. I was informed that we would be able to sub divide the property but we could deal with putting the house onto its own water line six months after closing.

Which was ok with me. However, litterally the day we closed on the property I was informed that there was an additional $3,500 worth of expenses needed to be paid immediately. In order to put my house onto its own water line. So me and the seller arranged to pay those fees. After a few months of waiting for them to come put the house onto the water line.

Rich Gouge came over and installed 2 curb stops about 100 ft away from the house. Which was kind of confusing to me why 2 curb stops were being installed because we only needed one curb stop. Than he asked me when I was going to hook the curb stop up to the house. Well I had already paid for the curb stop to be ran to the house. Than they expained to me that they installed 2 curb stops for $1500 some odd dollars each.

However, I never ordered 2 curb stops I only ordered the one curb stop to be hooked up, than the connection to be made to the house. Than basically wanted me to hire him again to make the connection to the house after I already paid for it. 

At this point I was very frustrated with the village because they'd been playing me along for 6 months lying about what needed to be done with the water and sewer connection. Than hiding the costs until I already had so much invested that I would not be able to do anything about it. At this time the water was still connected to the shared line, with an apartment building that had 3 units. 

Than some Deborah Tousignant had called me one day to tell me that North Country Fedral Credit Union had not paid the water bill. In which my mortgage is supposed to cover all water sewer and taxes from my escrow account. So at this time I told them to collect the money from North Country because its not my responsibility to pay.

That's why North Country was paying the bill out of escrow to begin with.  Than she called the neighbors residence and told them that they were going to shut the water off to an apartment building with 3 apartments in it, in order to get me to give them $271 immediately. Than authorized the neighbor to come to my residence and try to collect $271. Than after I was threatened with violence by the neighbor because I wasn't going to dish out $271 that was already paid into escrow to give to them immediately. 

Than they authorized him to go ahead and cut the connection to my house. So now I am left without water and a very bad situation in which I just bought a house in a village that is apparently so hard up for money that they will say and do anything to get money. 

After about 18 months without a water connection to the residence. I finally decided to have a water line installed. Than the villages sends me a bill trying to charge me for services over the course of the 18 months that the water and sewer weren't even connected to the house. At which point I gave them $500 to turn the water back on. 

Shortly after I keep getting threats that they are going to shut my water off if I do not pay some $2000 dollars plus interest. For water serverivces for the time the water was not connected to the house. Than soon as I turn the water on. They start trying to get me to pay them some rediculous amount that I don't even owe. At this time the village needs to pay me  $1500 for a curbstop I paid for but didn't order. Than another $2500 in labor and parts for having to dig up my water line.

Than they had the nerve to come over here and cut the top off of my curb $1500 curb stop. So now they owe me $1500 for a curbstop I never ordered. $2500 for having to redo the job that they never did. Than another $1500 for a curbstop. What this is, is a case of racial discrimination as Rich Gouge started calling me a host of racial slurs when confronted when he came onto my property. They tried every which way to sunday in order to get money that they aren't even owed.
