44791.
    LEVERICH et al. v. RODDENBERRY FARMS, INC.
    Decided January 13, 1988.
    
      Ronnie Joe Lane, for appellants.
    
      Robert B. Langstaff, for appellee.
    (363 SE2d 543)
   Weltner, Justice.

The only issue in this case is whether Leverich’s contention (that Roddenberry Farms damaged his property by diverting water onto his land) alleges a continuing nuisance, and hence is governed by the four-year statute, as contained in OCGA § 9-3-30.

In Cox v. Cambridge Square Towne Houses, 239 Ga. 127 (236 SE2d 73) (1977), we held that similar damages (continuing indefinitely, as is alleged in this case) constituted a continuing nuisance. Cox, supra, is applicable to this case, and Leverich’s claim, being one for a continuing nuisance, is governed by the four-year statute.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
