The Village alleges that Elk claimed ownership of a parcel and then built a gravity sewer line through it, rather than opt for a more costly route. The Village wants ownership of the land resolved in its favor and the sewer line removed.
Elk and the Village have been at odds before. A year ago, the Village sued Elk over water rights to the pond in the village, which is connected to a snowmaking pond on the resort property. The village also sued Elk to keep a gate between the two properties open, so that Village residents could walk to the slopes rather than take a shuttle or walk a longer route. The gate itself has been the subject of sporadic attempts at resolution since 1988; the latest negotiations failed in 2010.
Elk officials did not return our call regarding the latest lawsuit.
