Commission directs counselor and GIS to draft precise easement for Rural Water District line

Sep 22, 2026

Commission discussed that an existing blanket easement across a 25-acre tract is too broad and directed the County Counselor to work with GIS to draft a precise easement ("10 feet either side of line as laid") and arrange live staking for Road & Bridge and commissioners to confirm.

The full story

The commission addressed a proposed utility easement with the Rural Water District, noting the current blanket easement over a 25-acre tract is overly broad. The record says the RWD's intent "is to run a new line parallel to existing line within county road right -of-way," and the board directed County Counselor David Van Parys to work with GIS to draft a precise description, described in the minutes as "10 feet either side of line as laid," and to have the line roughly staked for visual confirmation by Road & Bridge and commissioners.
