Here in Hardin County Illinois we almost have water piped in for rural residents. The line will run through my property and on down to fifty other families down the road who have only well water at present. We are stopped by two landowners who do not live here and refuse to sign easements for the lines to cross their properties. I cannot understand there reluctance, as there is no cost to them one way or the other and they don't have to hook up if they don't want to hook up. If there is a valid reason, maybe I could understand. Am I missing something?
