Rights-of-Way

Rights-of-way are rights that a municipal or industrial user has over certain lands. For example, municipalities often have rights-of-way over lands for water or sewer uses and BC Hydro has thousands of kilometres of rights-of-way over lands for their hydro lines. Other examples include the thousands of kilometres of railway, highway, oil and gas pipeline rights-of-way across BC. Unlike an easement, which exists between property owners, a right-of-way has no designated dominant tenement. Therefore, the covenant exists between the landowner and the municipality or the utility provider. Rights-of-way are very common, with most urban properties being subject to rights-of-way or easement agreements.
