Easements have a way of coming back to haunt you. Prior owners had given a power company a "lease" (very unusual, and not well described in the paperwork) about 100 years ago to run transmission poles across the property. Those poles were removed in the 1950's. The "lease" made the property unsaleable (no one wanted a hassle with the power company). Fortunately, the power company agreed to comply with the law in exchange for $5,000 for "documentation costs". The law was unquestionably on my side. Could have been much worse, so I was glad to pay it.
Will the water line benefit you in any way? Only way I see it benefiting me directly is if my well ever dries up and I am forced to start buying water from him. Also indirectly it is a little more complicated than just saying "NO", I have several close friends who will be tapping into it, don't want to cost my friends a bunch of money or stop their water project all together. Don't forget the added benefit of fire protection. (Hydrants)

This case may be different but I doubt it.

I have a 2000 gallon cistern and a big irrigation pump for fire, hopefully it would be enough and I am contemplating adding a 5000 gallon tank a neighbor is offering for free or possibly digging a pond that would fill itself because of the shallow water table on my land.
I guess I will wait till they hand me an official proposal then find a liar to look it over.
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
