No, you cannot legally refuse a utility easement on your property. Utility companies have the legal right to access your property for maintenance and installation of utility lines.

If a utility owns an easement across the middle of your property do you have to allow them access across your private property?

Yes, because that is exactly what an easement is. The right to go onto another person's land usually for a specific and limited purpose. However, you may refuse to let the utility people go anywhere else on your property except on the exact portion of land that is covered by the easement. Such easements are usually restricted to that portion of the land so as to enable the utility to read the meter or repair damaged equipment. The terms of the deed of easement will specify where the utility can go.


If a utility easement is no longer in use how do you get a release from the utility company?

You need to contact the easement department of the utility company that owns the easement and ask for a release. The utility must research the easement in their records which is sometimes a very complicated process. They may require a fee for the research and release. That fee can run in the hundreds of dollars. On the other hand they may refuse to release it at all even if it is not in use. Once they have property rights some utility companies don't let them go.

If you let them, sure. If someone is doing this and you don't like it, ask them to move it and if they refuse talk to a lawyer.
