attorney. Long answer is that you may have a claim against the “OG Developer” depending on what reps and warranties were in the purchase agreement for the ground. The water district may have a claim against him too.

In terms of ownership/easement, I have not done this kind of work or studied this stuff in a long time but I think I remember there is something called an implied easement of necessity that might do something for you here, especially because the seller who put in the sewer line was the same guy who sold you your property and who sold the water district their property. Truthfully I don’t recall the term for it but I want to say I remember a semi-obscure doctrine that may not even exist where you are or be helpful but then again it may.
