What is legal right of property owner when a contractor is building waterline across edge of property to neighbor beyond the easement boundary?
MInirosa
That all depends on the provisions set forth in the easement. However, it is quite common for a developer to reserve easements rights that benefit other land of the developer. For example, if a developer reserved a ten foot wide water line easement easement across your lot then it can install a water line within the easement area to service other lots beyond.

What is a private nonexclusive easement?
An "easement" is a legal right to use the property owned by another person (i.e. the person who granted the easement). An easement is usually created by a recorded document, whether a deed or an easement agreement. The purpose of the easement (for example, a driveway or a walking path) is whatever permitted use is stated in the easement document. The fact that the easement is "perpetual" means that the easement has no term and will continue indefinitely. An easement that is "non-exclusive" simply is an easement that someone else may also use. This might mean the person who granted the easement or whoever else may be identified in the easement document. The easement document should state who else may use the easement. A perpetual easement usually "runs with the land", meaning that the easement continues in effect regardless of whether the property benefited by the easement is sold or if the property burdened by the easement is sold.

(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.)
