Q: The survey for my lot when I closed on my property shows a 15-foot-wide drainage easement dedicated to my homeowners’ association. Can my association use the drainage easement for another purpose besides drainage? (A.D., via e-mail)
A: Most likely not. However, the answer to your question depends on several things, including the language contained within the subdivision plat’s dedication language, the language in your declaration of covenants, and whether the easement across your property benefit third parties, like governmental entities and utility service providers.
