1) You can enter into written agreement with your neighbour that in respect of water pipeline laid down on your land one outlet shall be provided for your use

2) that in case any damage is caused to pipeline the costs for replacement shall be borne by neighbour

3) in case any disputes shall arise between you and your neighbour shall be referred to sole arbitrator appointed by you

4your neighbour has easmentary rights for granting access to property for the purpose of maintaining or repairing water lines and meter

1. Allowing your neighbour to lay a pipe on/under your land does not oust your ownership but it creates easement by prescription in his favour. If tomorrow you were to remove his pipeline then he can file a suit for injunction against you.

2. You cannot bind him to dismantle the pipeline.

he can claim easement right in the property on the basis of your permission. you should prepare a deed and undertaking from that person that he shall not claim any right in/over the land in future, and this permission is only gratuitous.
