I am a volunteer at an NPO; our sewer pipe goes 200' through the neighbor's yard.
The pipe has no record of easement it was installed in the 40's, the neighboring homes were developed in the 80's, no easement was established.
The city came out and cleared the blockage, there were extensive repairs, now the city wants to establish easement for us.
Here are my questions
1. Can the city force us to get easement rights for a sewer line?
2. Can the city force us to do work or pay for repair of a sewer line that has no record of easement.
3. Do we want to try to stop the city from forcing easement rights/do we want easement rights.
4. As an NPO are we required to own the easement rights of our lateral sewer line?
5. Can the city try to charge us for work already completed off union property of the sewer line.
