My municipal services reach my property through my neighbors land. we cant find an easement on record.

Re: easements are they grand fathered
Most utility easements are in perpetuity. Even if rights were never secured, 10 years of use under a belief that use was permitted would give the utility co. "adverse possession" of the easement.
