Clarifying that easement rights retained when canal or ditch converted to pipeline

HB 355 clarifies that individuals holding easement rights for canals or ditches retain these rights even if the canal or ditch is converted into a pipeline, provided the pipeline is conspicuously marked. This ensures that the right to enter, inspect, repair, and maintain the water conveyance system continues. The bill extends existing protections against encroachment or impairment to these converted pipeline easements, affecting both easement holders and property owners whose land the easements cross. It also specifies that these provisions apply to easements obtained through prescription or conveyance.
