When the yard or court of a house is enclosed between other houses, and it be not possible to give an outlet through the house itself to the rainwater collected therein, the establishment of a servitude of drain may be demanded, giving an outlet to the waters at the point of the contiguous tenements where its egress may be the easiest, and establishing a conduit for the drain in such manner as to cause the least damage to the servient tenement, after payment of the proper indemnity.\nHistory —Civil Code, 1930, § 524.
