What is the process for obtaining easements (right of way) for the sewer and water lines through each property?
Where a main line (not the building service line) has to traverse a property, the Town will need an easement. Easements are surveyed, appraised and then purchased for the appraised price. Where property owners do not agree to the appraised price, the easements can be condemned and acquired by the Town by eminent domain. Restoration of the construction area is a given.
