Call Bernie.

I have done a few that involved easements to a water source. The reports were for the local water company. They could easily have gained access through imminent domain but wished to maintain good public relations.

I approached it from the standpoint of what damage it would do to the subject property. Financial, aesthetically, privacy and the resulting diminution of value. I did not weigh in any increased value to the water company seeking the easement as that is not germaine to the dimination of value that might be created when and if the easement is granted. That would be another assignment.
