What are Drainage and Utility Easements?
A drainage or utility easement gives the right for the Town to enter certain parts of your property for maintenance or repairs regarding the drainage of the area or for any utilities that may be there or are needed in the future. If you have an easement on your property the property is still yours to use and maintain, however no buildings, pools or fences are allowed in the easement. In the rare case that the Town needed access to this property, the Town is not responsible for repairs or replacement of any of these items that are in the easement.
