What You Need To Know
A number of private and public entities are working on infrastructure projects in De Soto related to road, energy, water and wastewater improvements. If temporary work needs to happen on your property, here’s what you need to know:
- If you own the impacted property, you’ll receive a letter in the mail prior to the work being done.
- If work is happening in your area, but not on your property, you may receive a general notice, such as a door hanger or letter.
- Generally, existing utilities are located within the road right-of-way or within an easement across privately held land. Generally, existing utilities are located within the road right-of-way or within an easement across privately held land. With an easement, the resident still owns the property, but there’s a legal agreement between you and the easement holder – usually a public utility. (Check your property record at the County if you’re unsure.) If this is the case, work may happen without specific notification, but only in the easement.
