Supreme Court taps Birmingham nuisance rights case
In a Birmingham v. Sandefur decision the Alabama Supreme Court rejects prescriptive rights for ten years of use and holds the city cannot pollute Valley Creek without just compensation. The ruling preserves property owners along the creek and signals Birmingham may need to acquire land to stop sewers. The opinion limits city power to authorize nuisances and affirms individual rights to unpolluted creek waters.
