Attached .is the permit application that your former property owner submitted to the State in April of 2000. The permit
number WI0500100 was assigned-to the application. As per our phone conversation today, it appears that no
geothermal well system was constructed on your property. We will follow up with a letter shortly that says roughly the
same.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
