Reminders Regarding Utility Easements
- The utility easements in the Hideout are 10 feet in from your property line along the road and 5 feet in from the property line along the sides and back of each lot.
- Please note that the 10-foot area along the road starts at the property line, not at the edge of the road surface.
- No permanent landscaping should be done in the easement area.
- If RS&W needs to repair or replace a water or sewer line in the easement, the work involved may destroy what you have placed there.
- Your water and sewer lines are buried on your property, and you need to pay special attention to this.
- Water distribution lines and sewer collection lines are buried in the right-of-way that surrounds your property.
