utility easement

A utility easement is a legal right that allows utility companies to access and use a portion of your property for installing, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure like power lines, water pipes, or gas lines. It doesn't give the utility ownership of the land but grants them permission to use the specified area for their needs. Typically, these easements are recorded in property deeds and ensure utilities can provide services efficiently, often without disrupting the property owner’s use of the land. They are essential for infrastructure maintenance and development while balancing property and public utility interests.
