Talmud for Eruvin 8:11

וְכֵן שְׁתֵּי דְיוֹטָאוֹת זוֹ כְנֶגֶד זוֹ, מִקְצָתָן עָשׂוּ עוּקָה וּמִקְצָתָן לֹא עָשׂוּ עוּקָה, אֶת שֶׁעָשׂוּ עוּקָה, מֻתָּרִין, וְאֶת שֶׁלֹּא עָשׂוּ עוּקָה, אֲסוּרִין:

Likewise, two upper stories, one opposite the other, [overlooking a courtyard less than four cubits, where they spill their water], some [i.e., the men of one courtyard] having made a hole [in the courtyard], and some [i.e., the men of the other] not having made a hole — those who made a hole are permitted, and those who did not make a hole are forbidden [as long as they did not make an eruv. For if they were permitted to make use of it, they would come to take swill-vessels from their houses down into the courtyard until the edge of the hole, carrying in a courtyard where they had not made an eruv.]
