More details to this question:
My neighbor won't pay me for using my elect. to pump water to his place. There is an agreement and easement in my deed to share my well. We had an oral agreement but he quit paying 18 mos. ago. How hard would it be to terminate this agreement? They are real jerks.

Sharing the well is not the same as sharing the pump. If the neighbor wants water, he probably needs to pay. The wording in the deed may be critical and, obviously, without reviewing the entire deed it is not possible to give a precise answer. It may be as easy as shutting him off until he pays for electricity and probably something for maintenance of the pump (they don't run forever.) Good luck, and seek legal advice if you are not sure.
