[PAULUS libro quinto decimo ad Plautium. ] §39.3.17.prSi prius nocturnae aquae seruitus mihi cessa fuerit, deinde postea alia cessione diurnae quoque ductus aquae concessus mihi fuerit et per constitutum tempus nocturna dumtaxat aqua usus fuerim, amitto seruitutem aquae diurnae, quia hoc casu plures sunt seruitutes diuersarum causarum.
[PAULUS in the fifteenth book on Plautius.] If a servitude of drawing water by night has first been ceded to me, and then subsequently, by another cession, the right of drawing water by day also has been granted to me, and I have used only the water by night during the established time, I lose the servitude of drawing water by day, because in this case there are several servitudes of different titles.
§39.3.17.1placuit non alias per lapidem aquam duci posse, nisi hoc in seruitute constituenda comprehensum sit: non enim consuetudinis est, ut qui aquam habeat per lapidem stratum ducat: illa autem, quae fere in consuetudine esse solent, ut per fistulas aqua ducatur, etiamsi nihil sit comprehensum in seruitute constituenda, fieri possunt, ita tamen, ut nullum damnum domino fundi ex his detur.
It has been held that water cannot be drawn through a stone channel unless this has been included in the establishment of the servitude; for it is not customary for one who has the right to water to draw it through a paved stone channel. However, those things which are usually customary, such as that water be drawn through pipes, can be done even if nothing was included in the establishment of the servitude, provided, however, that no damage is caused to the owner of the land thereby.
§39.3.17.2Uia publica intercedente haustus seruitutem constitui posse placuit et est uerum: sed non solum si uia publica interueniat, sed et si flumen publicum, eodem casu, quo interueniente flumine publico uiae itineris actus seruitus imponi potest, id est si non sit impedimento transeunti magnitudo fluminis.
It has been held, and it is true, that a servitude of drawing water can be established although a public road intervenes; but this is the case not only if a public road intervenes, but also if a public river does, under the same circumstances in which, although a public river intervenes, a servitude of way, passage, or driving can be imposed; that is, if the size of the river is not an obstacle to one crossing.
§39.3.17.3Sic et si non proximo meo praedio seruitutem uicinus debeat, sed ulteriori, agere potero ius esse mihi ire agere ad illum fundum superiorem, quamuis seruitutem ipse per fundum meum non habeam, sicut interueniente uia publica uel flumine quod uado transiri potest.
Thus also, if a neighbor owes a servitude not to my adjacent property but to one further away, I shall be able to bring an action claiming that I have the right to pass and drive to that upper land, although I myself do not have a servitude through my own land, just as when a public road or a river which can be crossed by a ford intervenes.
sed loco sacro uel religioso uel sancto interueniente, quo fas non sit uti, nulla eorum seruitus imponi poterit.
But if a sacred, religious, or holy place intervenes, which it is unlawful to use, none of these servitudes can be imposed.
§39.3.17.4Sed si fundus medius alterius inter me et te intercedit, haustus seruitutem fundo tuo imponere potero, si mihi medius dominus iter ad transeundum cesserit, quemadmodum, si ex flumine publico perenni haustu uelim uti, cui flumini ager tuus proximus sit, iter mihi ad flumen cedi potest.
But if an intervening land belonging to another lies between me and you, I can impose a servitude of drawing water on your land, if the intervening owner cedes to me a right of way for passage; just as, if I wish to make use of drawing water from a perennial public river to which river your land is adjacent, a right of way to the river can be ceded to me.
