These are the people in your neighborhood...

This morning I am learning about easements, estoppels, and other incredibly exciting property concepts. In one case, from 1938, neighbors are (again) fighting because of a sewage drain that runs under their respective properties. The case makes note that the plaintiff is upset that her basement flooded with 6-8 inches of sewage and filth from the pipe that runs under his property. Ok, that sucks, but it's not like his neighbors were actually coming onto his land personally and dumping sewage right?
Not according to the footnote!
"Professor Vetter reports that several residents of Chanute have told him stories about [the plaintiff] and [defendant] dumping buckets of sewage on each other's front porch."

Enjoy your breakfast.
