"I have to protect my property": Neighbours at war go viral
In Sydney's western suburbs, a war has broken out between two neighbours over something neither of them can control: the rain.
Valentina lives in Edensor Park, and is sick of her neighbour Connie's rainwater flooding her property.
Connie's house sits higher than her neighbour's, meaning as Australia endures yet another year of heavy rain, Valentina's property has been "flooded" from all sides.
Valentina said, "She is sending her water onto ours and flooding our property."
Connie, however, insists, "It is surface water from the sky, not stormwater and I can't control it."
During every downpour, the neighbours have been filming each other and their properties to get to the bottom of the issue, which has resulted in Valentina opting to build a retaining wall.
However, when tradies arrives at the house to begin construction, all hell broke loose.
So during construction of "the great wall" of Edensor Park, the iPhone videos were running hot.
On one side, Connie and her husband are trying to stop the construction, on the other Valentina and her parents are shouting to stop.
"The council policy says the water flow must not be obstructed by kerbing, fencing, retaining walls," Connie said.
The stoush was posted online and has generated more than seven million views, with neither neighbour backing down.
"I won't give up, the police can arrest me," Connie said.
"But I have to protect my land."
