I have an ongoing issue regarding excessive water runoff into the street gutter in front of my house. The water is coming from a drainage pipe uphill from my house. I believe that the excessive drainage is due to overwatering by my neigbor.
I?ve complained to the HOA to ask my neighbor to reduce the water, but the HOA said that the neighbor claims he is only watering once every other day. The HOA manager said that the drainage pipe services multiple houses in that area, but his house is closest to that drainage pipe.
They?ve apparently visited other homes and backyards in the area and found no culprit. They finally got consent from my neighbor who I believe is the culprit to visit and investigate. However, on the day they visited, the excessive water runoff stopped. There has been excessive water runoff for the past 2 years. I think the neighbor just reduced the watering before the visit and just resumed their normal watering as the excessive runoff returned a few days later.
I guess my question is what can I do? The HOA wants concrete proof before taking action, but I?m not sure what is concrete proof.
