Connecticut Utility Facilities Easement, also known as a utility right-of-way, is a type of legal agreement that grants utility companies the right to access and maintain their infrastructure on private or public property in Connecticut. This easement is designed to accommodate vital utilities such as electrical transmission lines, gas pipelines, telecommunications infrastructure, water and sewer lines, and other essential services.

Connecticut recognizes several types of Utility Facilities Easements, depending on the specific needs and requirements of different utility services: 1. Electric Utility Easement: This type of easement primarily pertains to overhead and underground electric distribution and transmission lines. It allows electric utility companies to access and maintain their power lines, transformers, substations, and related equipment. 2. Gas Utility Easement: Gas companies are granted this easement to lay down, maintain, and repair gas pipelines, meters, equipment, and other facilities necessary for the natural gas distribution system in Connecticut. 3. Telecommunications Utility Easement: Telecommunication providers, like internet service providers and telephone companies, can secure this easement to install, maintain, and upgrade telecommunication infrastructure, including fiber optic cables, cell towers, hubs, and related equipment. 4. Water and Sewer Utility Easement: This easement permits water and sewer utility providers to access private or public properties to construct, maintain, and repair water pipes, hydrants, pumping stations, wastewater treatment facilities, sewer lines, and associated infrastructure. The overarching goal of these utility facility easements is to ensure uninterrupted and reliable utility services for the community, supporting the development, growth, and sustainability of Connecticut's infrastructure.
