It doesn’t matter if the pipe is hers. You cannot divert water onto a neighbors property in that manner. This is standard law across the US.

I don't follow. Couldn't you also claim the opposite as well? That neighbors are diverting water to her property?

Edit: Nevermind. I read the article and yeah, the neighbors may have a case. But I'd like to know the full story.
