That is their choice, unless local law imposes a requirement on them. The line could perhaps be moved. That would have significant costs, which you might have to pay. Or an additional easement could be granted. Note that most easements impose few restrictions on the use of the land by the property owner, mostly that access be granted. But the exact terms vary. You might wish to consult a lawyer on the details of what effects a new easement would actually have.

They wrote an easement, but the waterline was already somewhere else. I am not willing to give another easement as this would increase the easement size to 65 - 70 ft wide.
