Is it operational at all?

Does it collect surface water anywhere thru yard inlet? Does water flow thru it during rain? If it's not used at all, file plans with City to pump his "own" storm line full of grout to stabilize it, if belongs to them - or is connected to city system he'll find out real quick.

Above is partly TIC, but might get attention. Real answer is to check property survey/deed, should be an easement if it belongs to City. Another idea is pipes can be scoped with a camera to see where it goes.

Buy a dump truck load of fill dirt, fill it ** -- fordham 03/24/2017 11:50AM

The problem with that is the pipe is in the process of disintegrating. -- Hokie CPA 03/24/2017 12:55PM

I agree just doubt he will get anywhere with the county or former homeowner ** -- fordham 03/24/2017 2:22PM

In our neighborhood, stormwater management is responsibility of HOA -- vtpaul82 03/24/2017 11:09AM

FIOA the city records... -- Burruss Writer 03/24/2017 10:34AM

Call VADEQ...tell you think there's a leaking UST...let them figure it out. ** -- Major Kong 03/24/2017 10:24AM

Then they bust him for a non-permitted injection well. ** -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:45AM

Just make sure all your P's and Q's are minded before inviting them onsite. ** -- hoosnowahokie 03/24/2017 10:25AM

Turn it into an asset when he sells his house. "Comes with storm cellar" ** -- TexasGobbler 03/24/2017 10:23AM

What locality? ** -- hoosnowahokie 03/24/2017 10:18AM

Is it operational at all? -- RTFC 03/24/2017 10:06AM

It is an old pipe and does not function -- Hokie Golfer 03/24/2017 10:13AM

Wouldn't the city have those records somewhere? Planning Department? -- Stork 03/24/2017 10:01AM

Absolutely. Even the state (VDOT) etc. And any easement will be recorded. ** -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:07AM

Golfer's title policy ought to show any easements on his property. ** -- TexasGobbler 03/24/2017 10:17AM

Unfortunately, it may show all from the past 100 years, too. -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:44AM

I think the neighborhood is only about 40 years old -- Hokie Golfer 03/24/2017 10:46AM

What city / county. / subdivision? (I'll try from here if you want me to) ** -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:56AM

Heck, I may know the engineer. ** -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:56AM

Email me -- Hokie Golfer 03/24/2017 11:05AM

30 inch drain and the city says it ain't theirs? -- Hokie CPA 03/24/2017 09:53AM

Yeah ... not like you pick up 30" RCP at home depot! ** -- VTENGR 03/24/2017 4:10PM

Thats the arguement my brother is making -- Hokie Golfer 03/24/2017 09:57AM

Nobody buries 2 1/2 foot pipe in their yard. The City does. -- Hokie CPA 03/24/2017 12:48PM

Here's the rub. If that drain is only drain his yard, it's his. I -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:03AM

He has worked with the subdivision but they do not have the plans -- Hokie Golfer 03/24/2017 10:12AM

They never have them, nor do they need to. The key is the easement. -- 48zip 03/24/2017 10:17AM
