Water flow in flood zone.

[[email protected]]

Can my neighbor make alterations to his driveway that would alter the natural water flow from my property to his? He wants to raise the height of his driveway by 4 inches.

- This is in Texas.
- We live in a flood zone.
- The natural water flow is from my property to his and down to a creek.
- This would block the water flow on one entire side of my property.

Also, in my opinion, this would cause a water backup on my property. I already have standing water in my yard and garage during a hard rain. I believe this would worsen the problem.

Thanks!

No to alteration of water flow. Read your first statement. I believe it is the other way around whereby neighbor is changing the water flow from his property to yours.
