Many members have questions about Rights of Way and MEA Utility Easements which are commonly referred to as “Rights of Way” (ROW). An incorrect assumption is that the property is open to the public. The most important thing to remember is that the easements are not public land and landowners retain all rights of ownership with agreed year-round access to utilities. We've answered some Frequently Asked Questions about power line and utility easements below.
If you have questions about rights of way that are not addressed in this information, please contact our ROW department by emailing: mearow@mea.coop
