Fiber Construction FAQs
What is a NID?
What is a pedestal and what does it do?
What happens to my lawn when you bury the fiber to my home?
Nuvera will indicate in the right-of-ways where the fiber will be placed. Flags or paint markings will be placed. All public utilities in the construction areas will be marked by the respective utility company. Please do not remove any flags or paint markings. Flags will be removed after construction is complete and paint markings will fade on their own.
Nuvera will restore any disruption to your lawn/landscaping after fiber is buried to your home. This will be a two-part process:
- First step is to fill holes with sand, which allows time for settling before final restoration while making the construction area safe for children, pets, etc.
- Next step is for the contractor to return and complete the site restoration after construction is complete. This includes filling the impacted areas with black dirt/topsoil and grass seed.
Homeowners are responsible for locating and marking any private underground facilities such as: invisible fencing, irrigation lines, private power, etc. For more information, go to https://www.gopherstateonecall.org/homeowners.
What happens if my lawn/landscaping is damaged?
Do I have to have the fiber equipment installed in/at my home?
Will I be charged for the installation of the fiber facilities installed at my home or business?
Installation of the fiber facilities and equipment will be free if household signs up for presale service, and fiber facilities are installed during the construction phase of the project. Current Nuvera customers are required to transition to our new fiber network and will be done at no charge.
What happens if I don't have the fiber equipment installed when the construction crews are working in my area?
It is best to have the fiber equipment installed when our crews are in your area. Service must be established within 60 days of becoming available or a $250 construction fee will be charged. If our crew does not install the fiber equipment at the same time as the rest of your neighborhood and you decide at some point in the future you want to move ahead with Nuvera high-speed fiber Internet, you can call our office and schedule a time for our crew to come back out and complete the line to your home. A $250 construction fee will apply or will be waived if you commit to a 2-year agreement.
