Easements shall also be provided along every watercourse, storm sewer, drainage channel, or stream within a subdivision, as provided for in these regulations, as deemed necessary by the Village Engineer and/or City Engineer. This is the minimum easement width to be provided and larger easements may be required for multiple utilities.

(D) Public utility companies shall be consulted for their opinion on easement locations and widths so as to minimize difficulties in servicing.
