Council renews statewide UDOT utility license to regularize utilities in highway right‑of‑way
Summary
Council approved a statewide utility license to authorize existing utilities in UDOT right‑of‑way (Highway 191), renewing an agreement that had expired in 2018; the license renews for 5-year terms and will auto-renew unless appealed.
Moab City Council approved a statewide utility license agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) on Aug. 11 to formalize the city’s utilities in UDOT right‑of‑way (Highway 191).
Staff said utilities (water, sewer, storm) cross or run along the state highway, and a license or easement is needed to maintain, construct and repair those facilities. The city’s previous license had expired in March 2018; the renewed agreement will be a five‑year term with an automatic renewal for another five years unless the parties take different action.
City counsel and staff reviewed the agreement; no major revisions were requested and council voted to authorize the mayor to sign the renewal.
No additional details on fees or substantive changes were presented at the meeting.
