We want to do the right thing by the owners of the land on which we have easements. That means ensuring that we only access our easements on your property when we need to inspect, maintain, demolish or alter our infrastructure, to manage vegetation or to remove structures that could interfere with our lines.
We’ll advise you in advance of any work we need to do in our easements on your property and we’ll be careful when we’re on your land. If damage occurs, we’ll repair or reinstate it to its previous condition and compensate you for damage to crops that may result from transmission line work. However, please be aware that we will not be able to provide you with advance warning in emergency situations.
We’ll do our best to work with you to determine routes for access to easements and on the timing of any maintenance work. We’ll consult at an early stage and ensure your comments can be considered in the design of a development project.
Most importantly, we’ll maintain our fences and gates – and when leaving your property, we’ll leave gates as we found them.
