South Lakeshore Road - Fiber network expansion

We're expanding the PUD's Fiber Network. But first, we need to upgrade the electrical system.

HAPPENING NOW - FALL 2024

  • FDT-230 - Construction activities on the main electrical line and fiber cable installation were completed in September.
  • FDT-150 - Design is progressing and we will start contacting property owners to obtain necessary easements. If you receive an easement letter, please complete and return as soon as possible. Pending acquisition of easements, construction activities are expected to begin in this area in early 2025. Please note: Design in some areas may change as the project progresses. Additional or revised easements may be needed.
  • FDT-151 - Construction on the main electrical line started in August and is expected to continue through the end of the year.

The area from the Yacht Club south to just before the intersection with Navarre Coulee Road is currently in the 3-5 year plan for fiber expansion. We will begin reaching out once we reach the Preconstruction Phase for this area.

How does the PUD expand the Fiber Network?

  • Before we can extend fiber cable to the area, we must first upgrade the electrical system (poles, wires, and other equipment). Significant work, including property rights and permitting, is sometimes needed to upgrade the electrical system to bring them up to current standards before fiber cables can be added. These upgrades not only prepare the system for fiber cables, they will also improve electrical reliability in the area.

  • It takes a lot of planning and coordination to extend the fiber network and serve individual homes and businesses. These projects are multi-phase and take multiple years. If you chose to apply for fiber service and your property is eligible, please know it will take some time between submitting your application and having fiber service at your home or business.
