what are easement areas
What Are Utility Easements. Utility easements are areas of a property that were defined for use by utility companies when the property was first put on a plat. They are designated for overhead electric, telephone and television lines and underground electric, water, sewer, telephone, and cable lines.ut an easement also means that there are certain things that you, as the property owner, cannot do to your own property. If an easement allows for utility lines to be put across the front of your yard, you may not be allowed to plant tall growing trees in the easement area because of the interference they may cause.
