1) why is your line on their property? do you have utility access/right of way granted to their property


Older house built 30 years ago, line ran with access to their property. I'd have to look at that old agreement. If any, could have been simple verbal since it was family back then.

In the country, no subdivision.

this helps define the issue.

need to go to the court house and see the plot map for the neighbors property to see if there were servitude/utility right of way rights

if granted, approach the neighbor, with papers backing you up and ask for repair

If it has been in place for 30+ years and not contested you have a prescriptive right to the line as it sits. As stated earlier, you should keep your head down and make the necessary repairs. Would be best to rework it to the degree where tractors and other equipment can't damage it in the future.

Are you hooked up to a sewer system or your own septic system?

Does your driveway also run across their property? I mean typically water and graywater lines take the most direct route to the public ROW along a highway.

Septic or mechanical?

Sounds like you will be putting in a mechanical sprinkler system soon if you do not have a legal easement and no access to a dischage ditch.
