Weed Street Homeowners Sue Neighbor Who Threatened to Block Access to Sewage System
|
The owners of one home in a recently carved subdivision are suing a neighbor who they say has threatened to cut off access to an underground sewer pipe, a move that—if it materialized—would back up sewage on the property. The threat appears to have materialized following the subdivision of 809 Weed St. into four lots, with a plan that the three additional homes going in there—numbers 807, 811 and 813—would hook up to that same sewer pipe. That pipe is large enough to accommodate all four homes and those Weed Street homeowners have rights to it through an easement, according to the lawsuit filed in March by Michele Lagarde and Marlous Sutorius-Lagarde of 809 Weed St., but the neighbors under whose property it travels have “refused to acknowledge the existence of the Sewer Easement” and have said they intend to “disconnect, disrupt and/or remove the Sewer Pipe.”
The four-lot subdivision in question is the one located directly across from the southern (blocked off) entrance to Irwin Park. They back up to 90 Kimberly Place, owned by defendants Jerzy and Irena Glowczewski.
