In 1973, a California homeowner paid $5,000 for a city-permitted backyard pool; 53 years later, a sanitation district says it must go as the 29-property easement dispute heads to trial

• More than five decades later, the pool is part of a legal dispute over a sewer easement in Huntington Beach, LA Times reported.
• The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) says it needs access to the area, while homeowners say they built their backyard structures with city approval.
