Goes back to the Egyptians, always a war over water. Some too much some too little, but its always a battle.
I'm very fortunate with my farm being split in half with a ditch through the middle of it, the 3 neighbors off to the sides of me that flow through me have been great to work with. One of the reasons wife and I paid too much and bought land from one of the neighbors this spring - we didn't want new neighbors there.
Its a battle.
Its easier to stop a project like that; now the tile is there almost impossible to get rid of it, so the deal will be to deal with the results now. Very tough situation. A lot is going to depend on your local county people.
I had a deal a few years back, the phone co ran a fiber optic and copper wire lengthwise through 1000 feet of my tile. They of course had no responsibility for it..... I musta finally said things right and got the right people; my county put up a block on the phone co getting any permits in my county until it was resolved. -that- was govt in action, my county water guy and engineer really went to bat for the little guy. Of course I couldn't be a jerk about it, it still cost me a bunch to get it resolved but at least the phone co had to come back to the table and talk to me, I got a little something from them. Neighbor and I spent $10,000 putting in a new main, the phone co and the county chipped in $4000. We have a better tile, but it cost us out of our pocket too..... If we had asked for the world and everything free, I don't think we would have got anything.
Be calm, ask for a resolution in the middle from your county people, and hope they care about the job they have and the people they represent....... They have a lot of power if they care, of they do their job.
