Easement for Utilities is a legal right that allows a utility company to access land owned by someone else for the purpose of providing services. This type of easement is typically granted for the purpose of electricity, water, sewer, gas, or telecommunications. It gives utility companies the right to use the land, build structures, and maintain infrastructure on the property for the purpose of providing services to the public. There are three common types of Easement for Utilities: * Right-of-Way Easement: This type of easement allows a utility company to build and maintain a set of structures, such as power lines, on a piece of land in exchange for a specific payment. * Easement in Gross: This type of easement grants a utility company the right to use land indefinitely and without payment. * Easement Appurtenant: This type of easement grants a utility company the right to use a piece of land, with the understanding that the land will revert to the original owner once the utility company no longer needs it.
