My question involves an easement in the state of: California

I have a water line running to a meter on a different street than the street of my property, and through another property. The line sprung a leak and the water company turned off the water at the meter. My problem is that the owner of the other property won't give me permission to fix the pipe. So I'm stuck without water. I've traced through my title company a record that shows from 1945 a reserved easement for water lines, but the language as to where that easement is seems, at least to me, ambiguous.

Do I have an implied right to fix the line?

Thank you.
