You might be noticing some activity around town- small flags popping up in your yard or big rolls of orange tubing along the roadside. That’s because several companies are once again installing underground fiber‑optic lines in Savage. These lines bring high‑speed internet (also called broadband) to homes and businesses. Before they can start, each company has to get a right‑of‑way permit from the City, which allows them to work in public easements and along the roadway.
What you need to know:
➡️ The City of Savage is not conducting this work.
➡️ Before starting work in a neighborhood, the companies are expected to provide customer service contact information to property owners (such as yard signage, door hangers, etc.)
➡️ If you have concerns or questions about the project, please follow up directly with the company performing the project.
➡️ Before digging begins, underground utilities are marked with paint or flags to indicate their location and prevent accidental damage.
➡️ The white flags on your property indicate the planned route for underground fiber installation.
➡️ The fiber companies are responsible for restoring any areas affected by construction, including repairing any damage to grass, sprinkler systems, underground dog fencing systems, asphalt, and concrete.
