DESPIRITO V. BRISTOL COUNTY WATER CO.
227 A.2d 782 (1967)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Bristol (D) water company appealed from a judgment for Despirito (P),
a homeowner, in his action of trespass on the case for negligence, arising from the flooding
of P's cellar due to a drainpipe break.
FACTS: P's cellar was flooded with water to a depth of about eighteen inches following a
break in the drainpipe which ran from the foundation of his residence to the street and
which, until damaged, drew off any ground or surface water which might have accumulated in
the surrounding area. The water seeped into the cellar damaging the residence as well as
certain of P's household goods and personal effects. P sued to recover for the costs and
expenses incurred in remedying those damages. P got the verdict and D appealed.
