Does the prohibition apply when only one town (not two) borders the trench, with the far portion of the trench extending beyond that town's techum?
Synopsis
When only one town borders a trench, the water beyond the techum is considered ownerless (hefker) and does not acquire shvita. Drawing from within the techum is permitted because only one town's shvita is present and there is no mutual intermingling prohibition.
