- CVEC requires a signed easement agreement 20 feet wide for underground power cables and 40 feet wide for overhead power lines.
- All trees and brush will be cut down on the full 40-foot width of overhead power line easements. This easement area will be maintained. Significantly less cutting is required for underground power.
- Obtaining easements from adjacent landowners may cause delays in delivering electric service to the customer. CVEC will attempt to obtain the appropriate easements. If unsuccessful, the customer may be required to enter negotiations with adjacent landowners to obtain the required easement.
The picture here is of the initial cutting of a heavily wooded easement area. The second picture is of a mature, maintained easement area.
