The act provides that, upon the establishment of an easement for the electric utility, the electric utility has the right to reconstruct, re-phase, maintain and repair the existing system and to remove trees and vegetation likely to become hazardous to the system. Access to the easement granted under this act is limited to that access necessary to exercise the rights and privileges granted under this act, except that further access is authorized if access to the easement would be hazardous or materially encumbered. The act provides that the easement cannot exceed thirty (30) feet from any direction from the location of the physical parts of the system, and an easement is deemed abandoned if the electric utility fails to use the delivery system for more than three (3) consecutive years without an agreement with the landowner. Before the electric utility is granted an easement, the utility must publish a notice in a local newspaper or customer newsletter.
