Utility Structures Clause Samples

The Utility Structures clause defines the rights and responsibilities related to the installation, maintenance, and use of utility infrastructure—such as water, electricity, gas, or telecommunications—on a property. It typically outlines which party is responsible for the upkeep and repair of these structures, and may specify requirements for access, relocation, or removal if necessary. This clause ensures that both parties understand their obligations regarding utility services, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring uninterrupted access to essential utilities.
