§ 28955 Public Utility Eminent Domain

• •The government can take property from a company (like a power or water company) if they need it for public use.
• •The company must be paid a fair price for the property taken.
• •The government can decide the fair price, or the company can ask a court to decide.

The government wants to build a new road and needs to use land where a power company has its towers.

The government can take that land, but they must pay the power company a fair price for it. If the power company thinks the price isn’t fair, they can ask a court to decide.
