Residents of Upper Saucon Township should expect to see contractors for Comcast/Xfinity working to install underground internet cables over the next several months, township officials said Monday. The internet expansion project is permitted in the rights of way long township roads and will result in some disruption on roadways.
“As part of the project, Comcast is required by law to place PA One Calls (811) to have all existing underground utilities marked,” an announcement published on the township website said. “As the facility owners (Verizon, PPL, RCN, UGI, etc.) respond they will place small colored flags or spray paint the ground to mark where their utilities are located.”
In some cases underground utilities will be marked from the street to the location where they enter a home, which is to identify the utility locations “and does not mean that Comcast is trenching to your house,” it said.For any issues that may arise, Comcast has assigned on-the-ground construction specialists who will be available to help with questions or complaints related to the work.
The announcement listed the following contact information for Comcast Senior Specialist Alisa Crozier: alisa_korpa@cable.comcast.com and 267-907-5572.
