What the bill would do

These points come from the Utah Legislature’s published bill overview.

  • provides that a municipality has first priority to establish control of a prescriptive easement for water conveyance upon the holder of the easement filing a notice of intent to abandon;
  • requires a political subdivision that desires to establish control of a prescriptive easement for water conveyance to file a notice describing the use and location of the prescriptive easement in the office of the county recorder in which the easement is located;
  • allows a political subdivision to convert the use of a prescriptive easement for water conveyance if the political subdivision: mails notice of the converted use of the easement to each affected landowner; files a notice describing the converted use of the easement in the office of the county recorder; waits 120 days from the day the political subdivision sends notice to each affected landowner; receives no written objection to the converted use from an affected landowner; and limits the modified use of the easement to not burden an affected landowner's use of land, interfere with an existing easement, or expand the size of the easement; and
  • makes technical and conforming changes.
