Anyone familiar with granting easements? I have 25 acres of land and a private water company wants to run a pipe through it to get water to an area of the valley that can't get water in their wells, what is fair to ask in return for granting them permission? I have a well at my house on the 20 acres so I don't really need a hook up there, I am building a spec house on the 5 acres and am planning to put in a well (about $10,000), they are trying to talk me into hooking it up to their water system but are asking about $30,000 (that's more than I paid for the 5 acres). Their proposed route goes through both pieces of my land, they could avoid the 5 acres pretty easy but it would be hard to avoid the 20. I don't want to be a jerk but also don't want to give up an easement for the rest of time for nothing when I may someday want to do something in that part of the land...
