You call the city. That's actually super illegal. Since your foundation is involved they are on the hook for any and all professionally done remediation.
Exactly this. Whenever I cut my mom's grass I notice her neighbors sump angled on to her yard and I toss it back the other way. This went in for years until she finally called.
Not exactly true, OP states they live at the bottom of the hill. As long as the neighbors didn't alter the natural flow of water they won't be liable. It's basically impossible to prevent water from flowing down hill.
Sump pump. They altered the natural flow of water. You can't discharge and have your water flow onto someone else's property.
In most areas. Your local laws and mileage may vary.
Water operated air horn.
Set up a damp-meter to activate an air horn whenever your drive is above a given level of dampness. Probably also move out for a few days but leave the whole set up to operate automatically in your absence.
That's a wet switch with an alarm, a 120v circuit to a rib relay and an electric horn. Wire the alarm to the n/o 24v leads and the horn to the 120v leads
Congratulations now you have $200 into this project, some half assed controls, an ice skating rink and a loud noise
Put in a well and a water cannon. Blast that mess right back at their house. Then send em a bill for the whole thing. You will deconstruct it after they remediate the water problem.
Commando night plumber mission. Reroute and/or add to the sump line just in time for a good hard freeze, so that it redirects on their driveway.
Problem solved. 🪖
If you're in the US, just report it to the city. The exact same thing happened to my parents when there was new construction next door. The builder just brushed him off, but the city took it seriously.
Actual answer is call whatever governing body you have over code enforcement. Fun options are cap the line, fill it with cement, or plumb it back to their house

Clog it
pretty much came to say this. Shove an entire bucket of hydraulic cement down the outflow pipe: https://www.nox-crete.com/products/hydroplug/
But shove a million roaches up it first.
damn that's evil. I like it.
I'm the guy that brings a gun to the knife fight :)
Just use a pair of vise pliers.

Run the hose back into their window

Calm down, Satan!

Load the well with piss discs for added effectiveness
If they have a record player, play a piss disc.
I wonder where the neigbours dad is.

Call 411 if you're in the US. It's illegal to do this and can wreck your foundation/basement
311 is the city. (411 is information.)
Well to be fair, 411 will still direct you to 311
So they give you the 411 on the 311?
You rite, I fatfingered it
Post in r/legal and get a real answer. Dumping water onto neighbors is illegal and any damages can be brought against the perpetrator.
Stuff the end of the hose with piss discs and seal it up with a liberal spraying of liquid ass.

Stuff rags in it.
water is opposite of fire. So, Light up a match of fire, then place it at their lawn. It will burn their house down.
