METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY v. THE ALLEN FAMILY TRUST ET AL. (Tenn. Ct, App. March 30, 2009).

Metropolitan government instituted condemnation proceedings against property owners to acquire an easement for the construction of a sewer line. The trial court granted Metro's request for an order of possession. On appeal, property owners challenge the trial court's determination that the power of eminent domain was being exercised for a public use. We affirm the trial court's decision.
