Although there are generally not substantial costs to the property owner associated with the site utilities as they are furnished a and installed and maintained by the individual major public utility companies their presence or lack thereof and locations can affect the suitability and usability of the commercial property. 

Most utility companies will require a grant of easement for the delivery of services to the property so that they can access their equipment and any time to maintain it or replace it when necessary.  Also, obviously, there are many restrictions associated with building and construction around utilities. 

On occasion, insufficient utilities to the site may create an issue for potential buyers, such as a sufficient or volume and pressure of water or gas services or sufficient capacity and phase of electrical power. 

Additional on-site utilities may be present which are not public utility owned but property owned. These may include items such on on-site power generation and water treatment facilities among others. These utilities should be treated the same as any other property owned system and inspected and reported upon accordingly. Though a specialty, condition assessment and cost data information is available for every aspect of any commercial property. However, costs associated with these types of systems may be substantial compared to public utility owned facilities.
​
Where visible a commercial property inspection or property condition assessment should observe and report upon the relative condition and location of services it as an additional measure of thoroughness.

Examples: utilities, utility easements, transformers, water mains, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, underground, overhead, communications demarcations, power and communications pedestals, gas piping, high-pressure, low-pressure, service entrances.
