It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line. If they have easement rights it is likely they include the right to replace and repair the lines. You should check your deed first. Easement rights may be mentioned. If not, you should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property and ask if the property is subject to any easement rights that are not mentioned in your deed.It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line.

Subsequent property rights would refer to property rights that arise after you take title to the property. An example would be your obtaining an easement from your neighbor after you purchase your property.

It depends on the easement and the type of property. As a rule, easements lower the value of the realty because granting an easement cedes one or more of the "bundle of rights" of absolute unencumbered ownership (fee simple title). As such, an easement reduces the rights of the property owner and therefore devalues the property. In some cases easements can enhance the property by providing access to an otherwise landlocked parcel or utility services to potentially residential property; in such a case an easement can enhance property value by providing access or allowing a higher level of development and a correspondingly higher value.
Yes. You should record it before the document is lost and with it your easement rights.
It depends on the lien, the easement, and the owner's intent for the property. Typically, a lien doesn't impede the owner's enjoyment of property rights unless and until the owner wishes to sell. At the point, either the lien must be satisfied by the seller or the property must be sold subject to the lien; in either case, the net monetary return to the seller will be diminished by the amount of the lien. By contrast, an easement essentially allows another entity the right to restrict the owner's use of the portion of the property covered by the easement. If the landowner sells, the land property is sold subject to the easement and the new owner continues to be subject to the easement rights.
It really depends on the nature of the easement. And the nature of the easement depends on the terms of the easement. Appart from state law which generally defines an easement, the terms of the individual easement usually limit the usage of the easement property...or rather subject the holder of the rest of the property and what is left after the use of the easement to what can and cannot be done on/with/to the land/sky/land beneath the easement. (It is convenient to see an easement as an area with clear boundries, most of the time; however, easements are really rights to use the area a certain way in opposition to the holder of all the other rights to do with it as he pleases.) You really have to know the terms of the easement.
You get the parcel of land, the dwelling and any other structures attached to it, all the rights that inure to the property such as easement rights and rights of way, and any encumbrances that affect the property.
Generally, no, unless the rights were taken by eminent domain. However, it may have acquired easement rights many years ago. If no easement rights are recited in your deed that does not mean there are no easement rights. Ancient easements are often dropped from property descriptions especially when the current configuration was derived from a much larger tract in the past. Ancient utility easements and takings would be revealed by a comprehensive title examination.
To put it simply, real property is land and anything permanently attached to it including rights such as easement rights.
The easement only applies to the electric company. Your property does not become Public Property.
You have the right to own and pay property taxes, and enjoy the use of the easement area, but you cannot build anything or plant trees within it that would interfere with the power companies use of the easement to access their lines, poles, and equipment.
