Description
Plaintiff, Camden Special Road District of Ray County, Missouri, hereinafter referred to as ""Road District"" filed an equitable action against Virgil Taylor and Hannah Taylor, hereinafter referred to as ""Taylors"". The Road District alleged in its petition: (1) it was a Special Road District organized and existing under the provision of Chapter 233 RSMo 1969; (2) within its boundaries there existed a public road, running north and south, under its supervision and control; (3) Taylors owned land lying west and adjoining its public road; (4) prior to September 21, 1970, Taylors constructed a levee running east and west, across the north boundary of their land, thereby ""completely blocking the natural flow of water from the north to the south and causing the water to back up onto and across said public road""; (5) water was caused to stand on the public road, starting September 21, 1970, and ""was still standing on the public road on February 10, 1971, the date it filed its petition""; (6) water standing on the public road prevented the general public from using the public road; and (7) construction of the levee by Taylors, thereby impounding water on the public road, constituted a public nuisance and the Road District had no adequate remedy at law for relief. The Road District prayed for a mandatory injunction compelling Taylors to remove the levee, and, further, that Taylors be permanently enjoined from constructing a levee on their land which would ""bar or impede the flow of water in the area of said public road.""
