Re: property and easements
An easement is used to allow access to your property by the holder of the easement. Generally an easement granted to a utility allows the utility to access your property to service and maintain whatever systems it owns on or around your property. To determine precisely what the holder of the eaement can and cannot require, you need to review the deed or other document that created the easement.

I found an excellent website from the Baltimore, Md. utility company---yes, I know, this is California, but the laws are the same, and this clearly explains the answers to your questions, and all of the ramifications.http://www.bge.com/portal/site/bge/menuitem.298cecd63a1abe4609c031e0da6176a0/
