Summary

In Prescott v. Williams, 5 Met. 429, 39 Am. Dec. 688, a case cited in Durfee v. Garvey, 78 Cal. 546, it was said: "The duty of making repairs, and the labor necessary for keeping the watercourse in a state fit for use, rests wholly upon him who claims an easement on his neighbor's land; and, as a general rule, easements impose no obligation upon those whose lands are thus placed in servitude to do anything."
