Broadband Expansion

Comcast is expanding its next-generation network, to serve Eagle Mountain. The project will provide enhanced business products and services, and extend new fiber-rich highways to connect more of the community. This planned expansion adds to Comcast’s ongoing $416 million investment in Utah over the last three years.

With this expansion, Comcast will provide multi-gig broadband internet speeds, video, mobile, voice, home management, and business products and services.

Construction sites are area locations with advanced warning devices such as signs and cones. This is to prepare the public of upcoming construction ahead. Please be patient throughout this evolution of installation, many crewmen and woman will be onsite on or near drivable surfaces so a precautionary slow transition through the work zone is appreciated for ours and your safety!

To provide Comcast service in your community, they need to place above ground connection points that link to underground fiber lines. These connection points are pedestals or peds, which are generally plastic housing and located in public rights of way. Peds serve specific network engineering needs. Their above ground design and placement provides a more secure connection space and avoids service-impacting damage from water and ice. To ensure the highest quality connection, peds need to maintain a relatively close distance to the associated home or business. The combination of these factors – in addition to staying in the public right-of-way or utility easements – creates some critical limitations on where peds can be placed.

Once work is complete in an area, restoration work will begin to make the area look like it did or better before the work began.

Comcast invests billions of dollars in our network across Utah to ensure residents and businesses have access to the most innovative video, broadband, security, home and voice products available. Technology is at the core of what we do. We have fiber at the core of our network, and we are extending it deeper into neighborhoods and closer to homes. We’re driving the industry with our major technology partners to redefine the technologies that you use to enjoy entertainment, connect and communicate now and into the future.

Residents should keep an eye out for a combination of notifications including but not limited to postcard messaging, door hangers, letters etc. Notifications will be provided at various points during the construction process and finally when the address is serviceable.

What are Utility Easements?

Utility easements are one of the most common types of easements for private property, which generally allow public utility companies access to the property for the purpose of installing, repairing and maintaining utility equipment. These include: overhead electric, telephone and television lines, underground electric, water, sewer, telephone, and cable lines. They exist because it’s significantly more efficient for utility companies to run lines in straight lines through neighborhoods rather than around individual parcels of land. Watch the video below to see how crews utilize utility easements.
