City of Macon v. Macrive Constr., Inc

In City of Macon v. Macrive Constr., Inc., 241 Ga. App. 396 (1999), the drainage ditch that caused repeated flooding was apparently located solely on the two plaintiffs' properties. Macrive, 241 Ga. App. at 396. The defendant had simply installed the drainage pipe and ditch on those properties, not on its own property. Id. Furthermore, the situation was probably misidentified as a nuisance because there is no indication that the flooding came from other property. Perhaps recognizing these problems the Court held: "Assuming for the sake of argument that this was a nuisance, the action was barred by the four-year statute of limitation." Id. at 397.
