I've told them to not engage back, walk away and tell me about it. For 5 months I have taken the HIGH ROAD !
Now the sewer issue has come up and luck would have it, he didn't even have the courtesy to ask me if he could did 5' on my side of the property to fix his line, Oh BTW, have I told you it freaking runs into my sewer line?
5 MONTHS, TAKING THE HIGH ROAD, and yet this place wants to judge me on how I have handled this jerk ! He has changed, his illness, his medications, now this dog and this sewer is really going to send him into orbit!
None of you can understand what I have went through for 5 months. Up until now, I have taken the comments in stride and cordial, but you want to tell me about my behavior?
I could tell you to go F**k yourself but I would rather tell you to have a Good Day and just over look your pointless comment!

It's just that you SOUND like the asshole here. You started with a money grab (asking him to split the costs with you), placed the blame for his dog being dead on him despite the fact that you let your dogs do the same thing on his property, and are suddenly in a rush to cut him off with as little notice as possible when this hasn't really been a problem for decades.
You just sound like you're pissed off at the guy for holding a grudge and want to make him pay and are excited that you found a way to do it. Maybe that's not your actual mentality, but it's how you keep coming across on here.
To put it another way, if your neighbor was your best friend, would you still be as adamant about cutting him off? If not, you're letting emotions dictate your course here rather than rationality.
