2. Active Construction & Trenching
This is the most active phase, typically completed on a per-block basis within a single day to minimize neighborhood impact.
3. Restoration & Street Cleaning
Once the conduit is secure, crews focus on cleaning the work area and restoring the streets and cleaning
4. Close-Out & Quality Assurance
The final phase ensures the infrastructure is functional and the aesthetics meet City/HOA standards.
- Fiber Placement: Crews pull the actual fiber optic glass through the installed conduits.
- Compliance Walks: Quality walks are conducted to ensure the work meets all City and HOA specifications.
- Remediation: Any issues or "punches" flagged during these walks are addressed immediately to finalize the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Will the contractor be doing work on my property or in my yard?
Answer: No. All the work will be in the common areas and on the streets. However, the contractor may need to enter the utility easement on your property near the property line, which may include walking on your property or placing materials there during the workday. No supplies should be stored on any lots overnight. If a resident signs up for Google Fiber, they will schedule the installation of fiber-optic glass from the street to their house.
Question: Will our guests or I be able to park on the street in front of my house?
Answer: Please follow the no-parking signs that are posted on your street and do not park on the street during the dates posted. You and your guests may park elsewhere in the neighborhood while work is being performed. You can also park on the public roads (i.e., Eagle Crest, Ridgecrest, Mountain Ridge and Red Mountain), if that is helpful.
Question: Will I be able to get out of my driveway if they're working in front of my house?
Answer: If there is a crew in front of your house at the time you need to arrive or leave, please let the crew know of your intention to enter/leave, and they will accommodate your request.
Question: Are Las Sendas Residents Obligated to Sign Up for Google Fiber
Answer: No, residents will continue to have the discretion to choose their internet service provider. Google Fiber will simply be an additional option for Las Sendas residents.
Question: When will Google Fiber be available
Answer: We anticipate it will be available after May 1, 2026. The exact date is not known
Question: How do I sign up?
Answer: While Las Sendas cannot provide this information directly as a result of our exclusive marketing agreement with Cox, Google Fiber will make other arrangements to notify residents when services are ready and provide sign-up instructions.
Question: Will Cox provide Fiber?
Answer: At this time, Cox does not plan to install fiber-optic cable; however, Cox will be upgrading its existing infrastructure to provide symmetrical gigabit speeds to all homes with Cox service. We are waiting for a schedule from Cox.
Question: What does it mean if there are markings on my property?
Answer: Crews perform "white lining" to map the intended path, followed by "blue stakes" (utility Locates) to identify existing underground lines. Some markings may be on your property, but construction will be limited to the streets and utility easements. Digging may occur within the utility easement on some of the lots where a new utility box will be placed. The boxes will be flush with the ground. If work is performed within the utility easement and property damage occurs, a restoration team will be available to restore the area upon completion.
