What had been a cordial and uneventful landlord-tenant relation turned chilly in August, 1997, when the well that supplied water to 20 North Main Street ran dry. Under the lease, landlord was to supply water. For seven to nine days, of which five were business days, there was no water to the premises. After Fiske had the well dug deeper, water supply resumed. There were questions, however, about the quality of the water. The governing lease warranted that “the well water now serving the premises is tested and approved by the appropriate authorities” and obtaining those tests took additional time. Qureshi found it necessary to install a bottled water system in January, 1998, at a cost of $2,248. In March of that year she began withholding rent until she recovered that amount.
