During the design phase, the engineering team determines the most efficient way to provide service. They select the least intrusive intersecting rear property point as the general location for a pedestal which is often in the center of four property corners. From that point, the pedestal location is thoughtfully identified based on the following factors: [...]

The city/county owns small but specific portions of your property to access and maintain city utilities. We work with the city to access these areas as we build our fiber network. A utility easement allows a utility the right to use and access a specific area of your property for constructing, operating and maintaining gas, [...]

The main line in the easements and right of ways are buried between two and four feet deep and the fiber drop to the house or to the pedestal may vary between 6 to 18 inches in depth.

The flags or marking in your area were placed by the local utilities companies and help our team identify where the lines are underground. When  Jade begins fiber construction, we use these markings to protect against damage to your property or utilities.
