My question involves an easement in the state of:Kansas
Many years ago the city decided to put a berm on the 50' channel easement on the backside of my property to "straighten" out the flow of its drainage system. However they never re-directed the water flow from the stormwater drain off of the street. So the water now flows directly onto my property and has created what the city now fondly calls a "retention pond". Over the course of many years this "pond" has caused rapid and severe erosion to my property. After many failed attempts I was able to finally get a city operations manager form the water pollution control division to come out and take a look. In response to my complaint the city decided to put a pipe from the "pond" to their drainage system. Unfortunately this has not solved the problem due to elvelation issues. My question is simple, what right does the city have to use my property as a their stormwater "retention pond" when it is not within the utility or channel easement? Do I have the right to have no stormwater on my property?
