Answer:
A “Permanent Construction Easement” is typically used by a utility company when necessary to leave a pipeline or other facility in someone’s property for the life of the facility. These easements usually range from 20 to 40 feet. Such easements are sought only when the utility has no other options open for a new installation, such as city street right-of-ways, or when existing utilities preclude room for new ones.
