One strange matter about the land we have just bought is that 30 years ago the previous owners gave permission to a local farmer to have an electrical supply made available on the land. The electricity utility constructed a small shed to house the meter and supply (it is about 1 metre cubed), and is sited next to a small spring. The purpose was to run an irrigation pipe onto his land nearby. It has not been used for 18 years, and we would prefer it to be dismantled. Apparently, that can only be done by the electricity utility if the farmer (still alive) agrees, as he paid for the construction work. The Notaire has agreed to speak to the farmer about it, but has warned us that he is a rather irascible gentleman.
