What is the name of your state? Louisiana
My husband and I own some land in Louisiana which has a pond on it. This pond is also on our neighbors land. About 1/20 of this pond is on this neighbor's land. There is a fence across the pond which divides our property from theirs. Our neighbors made a deal supposedly with a man 40 years ago that they could use this pond as their own. Ownership has changed hands many times since then.
Our neighbors have installed a pipe on their side of the pond which extends at least 100 feet onto our side of the fence to siphon water out of the pond for some fish ponds that they have on their land adjoining ours. We were not asked permission to extend the pipe onto our side of the fence.
We bought the land before he built his fish ponds. We have cut the pipe once and they fixed it and feel that they have every right to run the pipe onto our side of the fence.
Who is right?
