It's worse than you think. This article left out some details that were in the original. The legal easement was on Watson's property. When he told the city it needed repair, they refused to check out the problem. There was a clog in the sewer pipe, that caused some type of problem that was noticible to Watson. In other words, it flooded his property with raw sewage.

See my post 448.

None of that is in the news accounts published at the time.

Read it. So let me get this right...the city had a easement on his land, but refused to fix the leakage problem, or to compensate him when he took matters into his own hands. So he had 1) raw sewage backing up into his yard, and 2) to bear the expense of fixing a serious problem (can you say health risk, aside from the awful smell?). Then, without due process and little more than half a day's notice, the city showed up to create another problem by digging up his property again?

If so, yeah, you'd better believe I'd have a serious problem with it.
