Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I am soliciting advice as to how to deal with a thorny problem with our neighbor. She has been our neighbor for 8 years and we have always had a poor relationship. I won't bore you with the details as to why since I'm not sure they are relevant to the issue at hand. The enigma is that while many in our community see her as a difficult person OTOH she also seems to have a lot of friends, including some people that we are friendly with as well.
Her property has deeded water rights to a spring on our property. When we bought our property we shared the spring but we later drilled a well and no longer use the spring and she has enjoyed sole use of it since we drilled the well. A few years ago, she bought the property next to her (on the other side from us) and is fixing it up to rent. I just learned that she is extending a water line to provide water from our spring to that property as well without even asking us.
On one hand, I’m not sure I care since we don’t use the spring anymore. OTOH it burns me up that she just went ahead and did it without discussing it with us or disclosing it to us at all. So should I just ignore it or should I call her out on it?
If I call her out on it, even diplomatically, it will make a bad situation worse but we don't speak at all now other than obligatory "Hi"s so I'm not sure it matters.
