An easement is a written document signed by the landowner, which grants Cherokee County Electric Cooperative permission to access and use a portion of the landowner’s property to construct, maintain, operate, repair, replace, relocate, and remove any of the necessary components for supplying electricity to its members. The easement must be signed by all landowner(s) or the landowner’s authorized representative before a notary public.
Members must give Cherokee County Electric Cooperative Association (CCECA) the rights, privileges, and easements necessary to construct, operate, repair, replace, and perpetually maintain electric equipment and facilities located on the member’s owned or leased property, and in or on all streets, roads, or highways abutting their property.
All service lines providing members with electricity and all switches, meters, and other appliances and equipment constructed or installed by CCECA on the property belong solely to CCECA, and CCECA can access the property to repair or service those items and, upon discontinuation of service, to remove them.
