Utility companies change names, merge, split, sell their assets to a new company, etc. The easements they own are assets that can be transferred to whatever new entity services that area.

When we bought the property we were unaware that the utility went under the neighbors house they cut through the line and we have no power there is no easement and the power company doesn't know who?
If there was no easement you would have to bear the expense of having a new line installed. Comment: It sounds like the title company and/or the appraisal company missed the boat on this. Check with an attorney.
How far away from a utility easement do you have to be?
The area on either side of a utility easement is generally stated in the instrument that created the easement. For example, "no structures within 15 feet of either side of the center line". Check with the title company or attorney who represented you when you purchased your property for a copy of the easement document.
What is legal right of property owner when a contractor is building waterline across edge of property to neighbor beyond the easement boundary?
That all depends on the provisions set forth in the easement. However, it is quite common for a developer to reserve easements rights that benefit other land of the developer. For example, if a developer reserved a ten foot wide water line easement easement across your lot then it can install a water line within the easement area to service other lots beyond.
Can you use the gas easement to build your garage if it is in your poperty?
It is not clear what you mean by 'use'. The gas line is owned by a utility company. The company has the right to control any connections. In fact, if you were to alter the line in any way it would be a criminal offense. You need to contact the utility company and discuss your project with them. Also, you cannot build a structure within the easement area.
The power company has no easement on their power line that goes through your property Can you build a garage under the line?
Your title would need to be researched to determine if an easement was granted in years past. Utility easements are often not recited in deed descriptions. Failure to recite the easement does not mean the easement doesn't exist. Grants by property owners are not the only method by which utility companies acquire rights. In some cases, easement rights were taken by eminent domain. In some cases the utility was permitted to construct a ROW by virtue of a legislative act. In that case, it would have an easement. You should speak with an attorney in your area before you construct anything within the limits of the power line. An attorney who specializes in real estate law would be familiar with the local practices. If you build a garage within the power line ROW and later find the utility did have an easement it can and will demand the garage be removed.

Home has a 13' utility street easement Qwest has their line 22' onto my property for a service line not individual line Do I have any recourse if I want the line moved or can I charge rent?
Qwest needs an easement from you to install any utility equipment other than your private line on your private property. If Qwest has no easement then you do have recourse. You should arrange a consultation with a real estate attorney to explore your options.
Easement was given 20 years ago on a property we just purchased can i build a wall on the other side of the easement line?
Your question requires a lot more detail. Generally, you cannot build a wall that would restrict access to the area of the property subject to the easement. An easement allows people other than the owners of property to use the property for a specific purpose (commonly easements are granted to give neighboring property owners access to a road). If you recently purchased the property subject to the easement you are not allowed to build a wall which would restrict the easement owner's access to the property.If you are asking if you can construct a wall on the other side of an easement upon property you do not own, the answer is no. You have the right of egress and possibly to maintain it, but does not give you the right to construct a wall on the ajoining property outside of the easement which you do not own.See discussion page.
