Welcome to the Wecom Fiberhood

You might be wondering about those designated areas around town where utilities like ours can access and maintain lines. These areas are called utility easements, and we work closely with the city to navigate them as we build our super-fast fiber network.
Here's a quick breakdown:

• A utility easement is like a special agreement for a small part of your property. It gives Wecom Fiber the right to access and maintain our fiber lines there. Think of it as a dedicated pathway to the best internet experience!
• These easements are permanent restrictions, so they stay with the property even when sold. While we have the right to use that space for our fiber lines, we don't own the land – it still belongs to you!
• Just a heads up, you might also hear the term "right-of-way." This refers to any public pathway in the city, including streets, sidewalks, and yes, even utility easements. These areas are designated for shared use to keep things running smoothly for everyone.

If you have any questions about easements or how Wecom Fiber will be using them in your neighborhood, feel free to reach out to us.

You might have noticed colored flags or markings appearing in your neighborhood. These flags are placed by utility companies to help us at Wecom Fiber identify the exact location of underground utility lines.
By following these markings during construction, we can ensure the safety of your property and avoid any damage to essential utilities. Here's a quick guide to understanding the different colors and what they represent:

• White: This color marks areas designated for future excavation by Wecom Fiber.
• Pink: These temporary markings are used for surveying purposes only.
• Red: This color indicates the presence of underground electrical lines, cables, conduits, and lighting cables.
• Yellow: Be cautious! Yellow markings signify the presence of natural gas, oil, steam, petroleum, or other flammable materials.
• Orange: If you see orange markings, there might be communication lines, alarm or signal lines, cables, or conduits buried underneath.
• Blue: This color represents the location of potable drinking water lines.
• Purple: This color signifies the presence of reclaimed water lines, irrigation systems, or slurry lines.
• Green: Finally, green markings indicate the location of sewer and drain lines.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we bring Wecom Fiber to your neighborhood!

In Arizona, flags are valid for 15 working days to ensure accuracy throughout the construction process. If construction last longer than 15 days, the area will be remarked. We'll handle this refresh process as needed to keep the markings up-to-date.

At Wecom Fiber, we strive to keep our communities informed throughout the construction process by sending a mailing with details before our team arrives.

Heads up: Before construction begins, city crews and contractors will need to access the utility easement on your property to mark existing underground lines. While Wecom Fiber will inform you of our construction schedule, these initial markings might not be accompanied by a separate notification.

Every community has a unique layout, with varying complexity for underground utility access. This, along with city planning regulations, can impact construction timelines. While some areas might see crews quickly, others require more extensive planning and design.
We understand the desire for a specific timeframe. Unfortunately, unforeseen factors like weather or unexpected obstacles can also influence the schedule.
