This document is a Perpetual Utility Easement approved by the Board of County Commissioners on April 26, 2022, related to the Yacht Club property in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The easement establishes rights for utility infrastructure installation and maintenance in connection with the Beckett Bridge Watermain and Force Main Relocation project. The easement grants perpetual access to the specified property for the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of approximately 1,150 feet each of new 8-inch potable water main and 12-inch wastewater force main through horizontal directional drilling beneath the waterway in the vicinity of Beckett Bridge.

This easement agreement eliminates potential future disputes regarding property access and utility rights, ensuring unimpeded project execution and long-term operational access for maintenance and repairs. The easement was formally approved through the county's standard governance process, establishing a legally binding agreement that facilitates the estimated $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 construction project by securing necessary property rights prior to horizontal directional drilling operations.
