Shared well

Before you take any adverse action, I suggest you read the deed or document that grants water rights to all parties.

Water is more important to sustaining human life than is food.

If you inhibit, prohibit, or restrict water to flow to one of the three named parties, you might find yourself facing some harsh sanctions.

In fact, I suggest you speak with an OR licensed lawyer familiar with property rights, or property law.

Most lawyers will provide a free initial consultation, however, even if the lawyer were to charge you $500 (for an hour of time); it would be much less than a government sanction or fine.

 

Almost certainly not. Doing so would put you in crap city.

If your shared well "rights" allow you to be reimbursed by the other property owners for their share of the expenses, then your recourse is likely a lawsuit in small claims court if they don't pay.

 

Not sure what "with first rights" might mean, but it sounds contrary to the notion that the well is "shared."

I have no idea if you have that ability, but I doubt that's what you meant to ask. Whether it would be legal for you to do so obviously depends on the documents governing this "shared well."

If "no one bought it," then it may have gone up for auction, but it didn't get "auctioned of [sic]." Also, what property are you talking about, and why does this "need[] to be known" in relation to the issue with the well?

 

Somebody still owns the property and the squatter issue is between the owner and the squatters. Even if you think you know what is going on, you really don't so don't take the risk of shutting off the water to the other property. Could come back to bite you.

 

I have no dog in your fight.

Whatever you do will have no impact upon me.

Bon chance ...
