SURF INTERNET FIBER INSTALLATION IN BEECHER
Surf Internet is expanding its fiber-optic network in Beecher through a $10.5 million grant from the State of Illinois’ Connect Illinois program. Construction crews will be installing underground fiber in utility easements throughout the Village. Before work begins, you may see utility locate flags placed in your yard. Surf Internet will use directional boring to minimize disruption, though small holes may be dug. The company is responsible for restoring any disturbed areas.
Please note: The Village does not control construction in utility easements and cannot regulate this state-funded project.
