Water Authority of Dickson County v. Gene C. Hooper, Vera S. Hooper, and Dickson County, Tennessee

Case Number
M2009-01342-COA-R3-CV

This is a condemnation case in which the Water Authority of Dickson County acquired an easement by eminent domain for the purpose of installing a subsurface water transmission line. The Water Authority's ability to take the land is not in question; this appeal only involves the amount of compensation to which the landowners are entitled. Following a trial without a jury, the court awarded $6,300.00 for the taking of the permanent easement and incidental damages. The Water Authority appeals. Finding error, we vacate the judgment of the court and remand for further proceedings.
