Sec. 52-456. Drain across land of another. When the owner of land may wish to
drain it, either by the necessary deepening or widening of a natural stream or by other
means, and is unable to agree with the proprietors of adjacent lands as to the mode of
draining it and the damages, he may make complaint to the superior court for the judicial
district where such land is, for power to drain it across the lands of such adjoining
proprietors; which complaint shall be served on them in the same manner as in the case
of civil actions.
History: P.A. 78-280 substituted "judicial district" for "county".
Drain constructed under this statute must conduct water off the land on which it is discharged. 24 C. 170. Cited. 184 C. 575, 576.
Statute may be invoked against owners of land which is not contiguous with land sought to be drained. 25 CS 177.
