My question involves an easement in the state of:Ga
My neighbor is trying to add city water. We live in a small neighborhood of 5 homes. The main road into our neighborhood starts out as a normal residential two way street but the section that gives access to our homes was originally a private drive that was deeded to the county but is not maintained by them. It is 10 feet wide with a 50 foot right-of-way. Our drive is a shared drive with one of our neighbors that crosses both of our lots. The entrance of our drive is on my neigbors land and the begining section is actually on the right-of-way. The neighbor that is wanting to run city water is asking for an easement from both of us. If the water service is going on the right-of-way then should either of us be giving her an easement? Should she be getting the easement from the county? If we don't give an easement do we have a right to request an agreement specifying that the line be bored under the drive going across the right-of-way and that they accept responsibility for returning it to the condition it was in before the construction and or future maintaince and or any other damaged that might be caused? If they get the easement from the county can they run their line through or under our drive without our permission. Lastly if the part they are going over is on our neighbors land should we be a part of signing anything since we don't own that part of the land but we do have an agreement to help maintain our drive. I don't have a problem with them running the water line I just want to know how to protect myself from any damages. Thanks for any help. D.
