Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed this morning a lower-court ruling allowing the city of Asheville to condemn land for an easement that would allow a new Habitat for Humanity housing development to connect to a municipal sewer system. The property owner challenging the condemnation had argued that the sewer extension was not for a public purpose.
