![]() Our neighborhood is built with the swales and drains every 6 or 8 houses, all of us have easements for the swale and drains. All easements will be listed on your survey. ![]() ![]() I'd also suggest checking with your city and also read your survey for the property. You may also find that neither has to fix your property after they use it. You may find that even Hydro and the gas company have easement rights. Real estate sales people are notorious for not providing all the information (and even hat they do provide may not be totally accurate).Įach municipality has its own idiosyncrasies. I think that you may actually wish to find the bylaw regarding this. Same goes for a neighbour, but dependant on how the drain is basically zoned, as public or personal. The city has 100% access to drain, but cannot damage your property. Neighbour must notify you he wishes to use drain, and is setting up a drainline, you where not notified and drainline is not set up properly causing damage to your property. When you bought house, previous owner, or contract must point out if your drain is public access or not.īut, since you have fence a trespass must occur to use.

Using that hose will provide the least impact in your yard, although you don't seem to like it. That water would drain onto your neighbours lot, and eventually into that catch basin in your yard given the swale in the pard leading to the catch basin. Any drainage comes from the pump with pool drainage in the fall or backwash water cleaning the filter, and I suspect that filter and pump is located inside the shed next to the fence. In ground pools are not build with drains. There will likely be much more ponding as spring rains begin in April, and some of that damage has probably occurred from natural water run off from rain showers, and snow melt. ![]() If you want to be the least confrontational as possible, then leave the hose on the catch basis where you placed it, and avoid the ponding of water in your yard. So to stop the ponding they have extended a hose right to the catch basis. It would appear they had started to do this onto their own yard and saw the water ponding on your lot as it drains with the grading slope toward that shared drainage catch basin. It looks to me like the neighbour with the pool is draining water from their pool cover. I'm trying to be the least confrontational as possible, but there is damage being done to my property and i need to have this taken care of.

Some people run the hose to the front yard onto the street and he chose the other city drain.which happens to be in your yard.Īnyway, you are doing the right thing by checking with the city and finding out what is yours and what is not and, what your rights are. The natural flow from other yards would end up in your yard when it rains so, he is just letting it flow to the nearest drain. The drain in your yard leads me to believe that it is an area drain which may drain three or more yards. That it may be a City easement for drainage of the area. You might find that you really do not "own" that part of your property. if you take a look at picture #3, you can kind of see how the ground collapsed a little bit, making a straight line from his to my property. i'm concerned that his pool's drain is either non-existing or not built correctly. In the mean time, i placed the hose on the drain, so the water goes into it directly. MPaia wrote: ↑ i think i will contact the city of mississauga on monday, to see what they say. There are holes developing around the corners around the storm drain, and I'm afraid a sink hole might develop? I just understand why they would do this. Judging by the pictures, someone would have had to jump over my fence to place the hose down. So today I go out to do some yard work (thatching ), and noticed the following: I asked him once if he had a drain constructed properly for his pool, which he said he did. Last year I noticed that he has a flexible 4" hose wedged in the wooden fence, allowing water to flow into my yard. The neighbour has a newly built pool, and I'm afraid it wasn't constructed properly. Even during the hottest temperature of the year, it's always wet. Hey everyone, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section of the community, but it has to do with my garden.Įver since moving into this house three years ago, I've noticed that the lawn close to my neighbour has always been wet, and muddy.
