New York Private Underground Line Easement
Understanding this form
The Private Underground Line Easement is a legal document that grants a utility company or individual the right to enter private property to install and maintain underground electric cables and related equipment. Unlike other easement types, which may focus on roads or access paths, this specific easement allows for the placement of underground electric distribution lines and ensures the Granteeâs ability to operate and maintain these lines over time.
Key parts of this document
- Identification of the Grantor (property owner) and the Grantee (utility or individual receiving the easement).
- Description of the property where the easement is to be located, including boundaries and tax map information.
- Specification of the easement area, including width and the centerline for the underground cable installation.
- Provisions for maintenance, repair, and restoration requirements following any work done on the easement.

When this form is needed
