waterline under easement

What is the name of your state? New YORK

my easement is for ingress and egress. the owner of the easement will not allow me to have an underground water line put under the easement to my house. my well is going dry and the owner of the easement said that for 20,000 he would allow it,since it is his land. What options if any do i have?
thank you..stan

**A: he is correct if the easement is only for ingress/egress. Hire an attorney and see if you can get an easement regardless.

Read your recorded easement agreement.
Generally, the beneficiary of the easement and the user maintains, and not the property owner.

**A: yes, it does. Now you need to seek advice from a local attorney in NY.
