I suggest Explanation: Correction to Decree of Public Use/Utility. Although I do prefer Use in this context. The site below, curiously enough describes Oregon legislation on public use and the construction of a transmission line... 1) When any person, as defined in ORS 758.400, providing electric utility service, as defined in ORS 758.400, proposes to construct an overhead transmission line which will necessitate a condemnation of land or an interest therein, it shall petition the Public Utility Commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity setting forth a detailed description and the purpose of the proposed transmission line, the estimated cost, the route to be followed, the availability of alternate routes, a description of other transmission lines connecting the same areas, and such other information in such form as the commission may reasonably require in determining the public convenience and necessity. (2) The commission shall give notice and hold a public hearing on such petition. The commission, in addition to considering facts presented at such hearing, shall make the commission's own investigation to determine the necessity, safety, practicability and justification in the public interest for the proposed transmission line and shall enter an order accordingly. The order shall be subject to review as in other cases. In any proceeding for condemnation, a certified copy of such order shall be conclusive evidence that the transmission line for which the land is required is a public use and necessary for public convenience. (3) This section shall not apply to construction of transmission lines in connection with a project for which a permit or license is otherwise obtained pursuant to state or federal law. [1961 c.691 s.19] Hope this helps! Good luck! Reference: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/758.html |

When something is of Utilidad Pública, it is not a Public Utility Explanation: in the sense of an electricity company... it means that a certain property has been destined to a public use, or declared public in nature for use by the Government. A utility, in the sense of an electricity company, is usually known, at least in Mexico, as an organismo descentralizado or empresa de participación estatal mayoritaria, dedicados a la prestación del servicio público de energía eléctrica... |
