Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

We have been supplying water from our spring that uses our electricty to run the pump to our neighbors house. The property was given to them as a gift in 2004 but no water supply or rights to our spring was given. We recently advised them we would no longer supply them with the water supply from our property, and as a result we have recieved a letter from a lawyer. The letter stated that they will as the court to hold us responsible for any monetary losses even though no water rights were given as part of the deed. Could we disconnect the water supply at any given point since the pump is powered by our home and the water supply is from our property?
