They didn't build a resevoir to contain the water. They built the resevoir so the People of Worcester would have something to drink other than beer and wine. Not to mention wash their clothes and flush their toilets. The res area is my private rec area.

Now I know why Worcester water tastes so bad..

Andy, My house is on the other side of the road and is dowhill about 5 feet from the road level..

I was referring to LB's property in this quote...

Why does the state need a 3 foot deep ditch across the front of my property when my yard is 3 feet below the paved surface of the highway ? ? ?
I don't see why a ditch is even neded there."

I thought his property ran up from the road.

The traditional road right of way in New England is based on the old English roads standards, which are 2 rods wide. A rod is 17.5 feet. The measurement is take on the road center as the road is normally traveled.

The road in front of my house is a 35' ROW, didn't know where that number came from. I do know that the road is not in the center of the ROW and is paved 2' from my side & about 6' from the other side, based on property markers. The road goes back to the 1700's. MikeD74T

Without a doubt you must return to an institution of higher learning and obtain a Doctorate in Geo-technical Engineering with specific emphasis on Hydrology.

This course of course follows after you have passed your local State Bar and can specialize in Property Litigation.

Your property line runs to the center of the road.

I have never relieved myself in the res. LOL's Worcester water tastes so bad because their sewers are always backingup. I think the lines are connected. Ever swim in Quinsigamond?? You get the slimey feeling when you get out.

ROLMAO, That will be the day. My days of schooling are long gone by. I hated it when I went and hate it even more now. I may need my head examined some day though. (8^`)

you need a ditch on the side of the road because most DOT's (or county rules) will require you capture the water the runs off the road and direct it to an existing stream/river/ditch. They dont want it to sheet flow off the road onto your property. That creates problems.

If you are trying to change my words about the width of a roadway and as it apply it to deeds, then you are WRONG! Your statement that my property line runs to the center of the road is also WRONG. How do you know were my property line runs? Have you read my deeds?

I own an adjoining piece of property that the property runs along the North side of the road, where on one of my property deeds, it runs to the center of the road "as traveled". Problem with that, is that "as traveled" meant back in 1765 when the first recorded deed that they can decipher indicated so. The deeds prior to that are not able to be read, because the script that they were written in is so illegible. Today, "as traveled" is between 4' and 6' from what it was years ago. The road has been moved for various reason, such as trees growing along the edge that have encroached upon it, and other natural and unnatural man made happenings. I am not about to give up my land each time the center of the road is moved, and neither are the adjoining neighbors. On the South side, I own the entire road and 17.5 feet from the center "as traveled" in 1820. The adjoining property owner has no rights on that road at all. You only own what the deed says you own, not what you wished that you owned, but don't have title to. Do you own to the center of State Road 26? Possibly in Ohio, everyones property line runs to the center of the road, but I doubt it. I might not know how it is done in Marrieta Ohio, but I do know how it works where I live in CT. You made a 10 word snippet of a statement that holds no validity in reality and is meaningless and without substance or merit concerning my deeds.

I have never had the pleasure to swim in the Quinsigamond Lake, but swimming in all lakes gives you that slimy feeling. That slimy feeling is what protects the fishes bodies from having there protective slime coat being scrubbed off as they swim through the water. Personally, I don't like swimming in lakes for that reason.
