1Opinion of the Court
THOMAS H. NEWTON, Judge.
The City of Independence, Missouri (“the City”) appeals the judgment of the trial court entered in favor of Marianne C. King on her nuisance petition in which she claimed that she experienced on several occasions sewage backing up into her basement and garage. The trial court awarded Ms. King damages in the amount of $20,000. The City raises two points on appeal, alleging that the trial court erred in finding a permanent nuisance and that the trial court improperly fixed the amount of damages.
We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
