130416 Robertson v. Western Va. Water Auth. 01/10/2014 In a suit for negligence relating to a sanitary sewer line that burst, causing property damage, the circuit court erred in ruling that the doctrine of sovereign immunity applies to shield a municipal water authority from liability for the maintenance and operation of a sanitary sewer system. Such an activity is a proprietary function, and the judgment of the circuit court is reversed. The case is remanded for further proceedings.
