I live in Arkansas. One of our neighbors has buried their water line down the middle of our driveway without permission. I own the land and have maintained the driveway for over 10 years. There is no specific easement regarding the use of the driveway. All neighbors on the driveway have had "implied, limited" easement regarding egress and ingress.
Can I notify the neighbors in writing to remove the water line as it encumbers roadwork and upkeep of the driveway? If they agree to remove the line, what is deemed "reasonable" in regard to the time allowed for the removal? If they refuse, can I legally remove the line myself?
