Supreme Judicial Court of Maine May 8, 1903 (Evans v. City of Portland)

Powers, J.

This is an action to recover damages resulting from the failure of the defendant city to maintain and keep in repair a public drain or sewer along Fore Street, with which the plaintiff alleges she had a right to connect the premises owned by her on the northwesterly side of said street.

The right of action is given only to those who have a right to connect with the sewer. R. S., c.
