Re: water drainage question
Thank you for your question. The best answer I can give you at this point is "maybe". I wish I could be more definitive.
The municipal body is emptying runoff onto your property? Was that happening when you first acquired the property, or was it the result of some construction or other change made to the adjacent property. It would also be helpful to see your deed.
I would be interested in speaking with you further. Please feel free to call or email me; [email protected]

No, they should not be allowed to do this unless they have prior permission.
