This project is set in a semi-rural suburban environment where the housing density is 4 or fewer housing units per acre. The terrain is of varying elevations and is densely tree-covered. Arterial access is accomplished via public highways, roadways, and local access roads. All homes today are served electricity from PG&E using existing pole structures. New fiber will be installed on these poles according to G.O 95 and with the approval of PG&E for joint occupancy, or will be installed underground.
A total of 17.5 miles of fiber and strand will be placed. The typical Height of Attachment (HoA) will be between 20 and 22 feet depending on G.O. 95 requirements.
