I've recently built a new home on a large property. It appears that the township is discharging road storm water drains on my property which is causing water to collect on the property. There is no drainage easement on the property. I brought this to the township's attention and suggested that they tie the storm drainage system discharging on my property to another drainage system about 100 ft down the road which discharges in a brook. They are investigating, but they indicated that if this discharging of water on the property has been going on for years that they do not need a drainage easement and can continue discharging water on my property. This does not seem right since there is an alternative to tie the offending drainage system to another system. Do I have any recourse if they do not resolve this to my satisfaction?
