Ubiquity/Millenium Telecom has resumed their Fiber Infrastructure installation projects in Harker Heights. Below is a map for the currently released area of construction, with the impacted area shown in gold. The phases and areas are determined by each individual utility company. The projects are not necessarily constructed in numerical or geographical order. As a reminder, the City is not contracted to install fiber in our community. Each fiber company is an independent utility, similar to Oncor and Atmos. There are currently six fiber companies permitted to work within the City’s public utility easements and street right of way. The City does not control the timeline nor contractors for these fiber installations. Please know that Ubiquity/Millenium Telecom will have construction projects in different parts of the City through the end of 2026.
Residents in the impacted area will see flags in their yard starting to appear. It is important to leave those public utility flags in place because they show the location and type of existing utilities that are located underground. This is done for the safety of the workers and to minimize disruption of your utility services. Ubiquity/Millenium Telecom’s contractor will place door hangers in the neighborhoods where they will be working. Specific questions regarding repair of yards and private infrastructure (water service, sewer service, irrigation lines) after construction can be directed to Ubiquity/Millenium Telecom’s Contractor at 325-267-9611.
All of Ubiquity/Millenium Telecom’s work will be done in the Public Right-of-Way, within public utility easements, or within private easements with the landowner’s consent. Please note that the existing public utility easements may be in your back yard, side yard or front yard. Some of their work will be above ground and some will be beneath ground. Ubiquity/Millenium Telecom’s contractors should have a copy of their contractor registration, construction plans signed by the City, and a paid invoice as proof that they are permitted to work in the previously referenced easements. Residents may ask to see a copy of those documents if the contractor enters their property. If they cannot produce them then please report them to the City’s Development department at 254-953-5647.
