Description
This is a flood liability case. It involves the flooding of farmland near Mud Lake in 1984 and 1985. The owners of this farmland (the landowners) sued various governmental agencies, officers and employees (the governmental agencies) and local canal companies (the canal companies) and water users (the water users) seeking damages and injunctive relief. The issues we address in this opinion are (1) whether the governmental agencies were immune from liability, (2) whether the landowners were entitled to pursue their claim for inverse condemnation, (3) whether the canal companies and the water users breached a duty they owed to the landowners to prevent the flooding and (4) whether the landowners were entitled to an injunction. We affirm the summary judgments as to the immunity of the governmental agencies, as to the lack of any breach of duty by the canal companies and the water users and as to the denial of an injunction. We reverse and remand as to the summary judgment
