Description

This form is an utility easement for electric lines. A Wake North Carolina utility easement (electric lines) is a designated area on a property that grants the electric utility company the right to access, install, and maintain electrical infrastructure such as power lines, transformers, and related equipment. This easement ensures that the utility company has unobstructed access to the necessary infrastructure for providing and maintaining uninterrupted electrical services to the community. There are several types of Wake North Carolina utility easements (electric lines) that may exist, depending on the specific requirements and circumstances: 1. Transmission Easements: These easements are generally larger and involve high-voltage power lines that transmit electricity over long distances. Transmission easements are required for the utility company to transport electricity from generating stations to substations. 2. Distribution Easements: These easements encompass power lines that distribute electricity from substations to individual homes, businesses, and other structures. Distribution easements typically involve lower-voltage power lines. 3. Substation Easements: Substations are essential facilities that transform electricity from high voltage to lower voltage before distributing it to consumers. Substation easements provide the utility company with the necessary access and space to construct and operate these facilities efficiently. 4. Pole Line Easements: Pole line easements involve power lines supported by utility poles, which are commonly found along roadways or traversing properties. These easements grant the utility company the right to install, operate, and maintain these poles and associated power lines. 5. Underground Line Easements: In some cases, utility companies may opt to bury power lines underground. Underground line easements provide the necessary right to access, install, and maintain underground electrical infrastructure within the designated area. It is important to note that utility easements do not transfer ownership of the property to the utility company. Instead, they grant specific rights and access to the utility company for the sole purpose of ensuring the reliable delivery of electricity to consumers. Property owners retain most of their rights over the designated easement area, such as landscaping and use of the land, as long as it does not obstruct or interfere with the utility company's activities. In summary, a Wake North Carolina utility easement (electric lines) refers to the designated area on a property that grants the utility company the necessary rights to access, install, and maintain electric lines and related equipment. Different types of utility easements may exist, including transmission easements, distribution easements, substation easements, pole line easements, and underground line easements. These easements are crucial for ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of electricity to homes, businesses, and other structures while allowing property owners to maintain most of their rights over the designated area.
