In construction

We are currently building our underground and overhead fiber optic network in the following zones. During this phase of construction, our crews will be trenching or boring for our underground cables, and the ground and dirt will be disturbed within our rights-of-way. Crew members will also use bucket trucks or climb power poles to complete overhead line construction.

  • South Cimarron: Service coming by the end of September – get your name on the list today.
  • Reconnect 3 Cedar Mesa
  • Reconnect 3 Grand View Mesa

Pre-construction

Pre-construction includes the prep work that may need to be completed on DMEA's electric grid before Elevate can install fiber cables. This work includes tree and vegetation management, pole replacements, moving equipment or wires, and installing fiber equipment throughout the community. The length of time it takes to complete pre-construction can vary significantly. The following areas are currently in pre-construction.

  • NEW – City of Delta zones: Construction will kick off October 2024!
