When a pit in the public domain is four or more tefachim from the private domain, may one draw water from it into the private domain?
Synopsis
When the pit is four or more tefachim from the private domain, the gap is classified as public domain rather than makom patur. Drawing water is only permitted if the embankment is at least ten tefachim tall, so the bucket travels through airspace above ten tefachim (makom patur).
