For years, she has claimed the 110-foot pipe — which runs along a 20-foot easement between her home and the adjacent house — has eroded her yard

Sounds like it is on an easement and she's just claiming it's not, either way, doesn't give her the right to damage other's homes. Especially since they have nothing to do with infrastructure decisions.

But there's a manhole cover in her yard, which is what she filled and doesn't seem to be part of that easement. I doubt she will win in the end, and I hope she doesn't, but I have a feeling that everyone in the neighborhood and the county officials have all talked to lawyers and if it were easy to say she did this illegally, it would have been said.
