Professional Answer: An easement is a legal right that allows the utility company to use a strip of land on your property for the purpose of building, operating, and maintaining power lines. While you retain ownership of the land, the easement restricts certain activities to ensure safety and provide clear access for our personnel and equipment. Prohibited activities within an easement typically include constructing buildings, planting tall trees, or storing flammable materials. We encourage you to consult the specific easement agreement for your property and contact the local utility for a detailed understanding of the restrictions.
