P.R. Laws tit. 27, § 2154
The legal public service easements established in § 2151 of this title may be recorded in the property registry without having to present the public document in said registry in the case of projects for the construction of buildings, urbanizations or simple segregations, or any other projects for the construction and installation of public service facilities, through which said services pass or their installation is required. In such cases, the property registrar shall proceed to record the legal easement rights which affect the property or lots, in behalf of the public entities or municipalities concerned, with the sole presentation in the registry of a certification by which the constitution of each one of the easements is certified, to be recorded as liens in the books of the property registry, issued by the authorized official or employee of the government instrumentalities or municipalities, as the case may be. Said certifications shall include the plan which graphically shows the course and extent of the constituted easement and where the lots affected and recorded appear, as endorsed or approved by the government agency or municipality acquiring the easement right, and the duly notarized private document by which the owner of the land cedes the right-of-way to the easement in favor of the public entity or municipality in question, in accordance with said plan and the subsequent consent of the acquirer of the right to said transfer. The private document that shall be enclosed with the certification to be submitted at the property registry shall make reference to the plan that graphically describes the easement thus constituted. In the certifications issued by the public or municipal entities concerned, as well as in the property registry, the properties or lots affected shall be specifically listed, including the description and registration data of such properties, the nature and type of the easement, the titleholder, a statement that the transferor and the acquirer of the right-of-way have given their consent to such conveyance and all other data needed for its registration in accordance with §§ 2001 et seq. of Title 30 and 30 R.P.R. §§ 870.1 et seq. The plan attached to the certification shall be filed in the property registry.
The Administration of Municipal Services shall give the necessary technical aid to those municipalities which do not have the technical personnel needed to prepare the certification.
