I live in a rural undeveloped subdivision. The owner of the development owns surrounding properties. Long story short, major water flows from upper property, through my property, and back onto his property. He barrierred the end of the ditch, blocking water flow so the water floods the back of my property. Since the majority of water comes from his lands, and was flowing back onto his land, can he block the water so it flows/floods onto my property?
you might call state Division of Water Quality. They normally have issues with stuff like that, especially if its due to development and they are actively trying to control the flow (blocking ditch).
No. There are all kinds of regulations about impeding water. Federal, state, county, and local. That book is probably thicker than the Old Testament.
A member of JoCos finest paid me a visit today and assessed the situation. He is taking it to higher advisement. Awaiting upcoming board meeting to bring it to the table. I am defiantly looking for answers.
