These utility easements are typically along the edges of the property and are dedicated to the utility company’s use at the time when the lot is created and the neighborhood record plan is filed with Greene County. The utility company is permitted to install and maintain their lines within these utility easement areas. If there are questions about the location of utility easements on your property, please contact the city's engineering division by calling (937) 427-5513 for assistance.
