Building and Other Restrictions Easement for Utilities

Electric easements owned by PWC are typically between 30 and 50 feet wide, depending on whether they are for overhead distribution lines or maximum voltage power grids. The width of clearances for subterranean power lines can range anywhere from 10 to 20 feet.

A utility easement is a particular piece of land that, in exchange for payment, grants utility corporations the legal right to enter private property for the benefit of the community as a whole. For instance, if a tree in your garden is obstructing telephone lines, the utility company that services your neighborhood may have the legal authority to prune the tree. Easements come in a variety of forms, including private easements, easements based on necessity, and prescriptive easements. However, easements for utility companies are pretty typical. A homeowner could find it inconvenient to have a utility easement on their property. On the other hand, it does carry with it the advantages of contemporary civilisation. Without these kinds of easements, it can be impossible for utility companies to supply services like water, power, and sewage that are necessary for our contemporary lifestyles.

One of the owners buys out the other. When a person who owns the dominant property acquires the tenant property, an area of land may be discharged. An area of land may also be terminated when the holder of an easement started releasing his or her entitlement in the right of way (in writing) to the owner of the servient estate. Both of these scenarios involve the transfer of ownership.

An easement can be ended in one of eight different ways: desertion, fusion, end of requirement, deconstruction, registering act, censure, adverse occupation, or transfer.
