Construction of the Edgewater Broadband Project is getting underway.

This project is 100% grant funded through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program – Rural and Northern Communities Fund and will deliver fibre optic broadband service into the community of Edgewater.

The first step of the project, which is what will be getting underway right away, is the construction of the fibre optic network itself by placing fibre optic cables on hydro poles throughout most of the community. At this time, there will be no connection of the fibre to homes or businesses. It is anticipated homes and businesses will have the opportunity to connect to the network as part of a future phase of the project.

There will also be upgrades to the SCADA equipment for the Edgewater Water and Sewer systems. This will enable remote monitoring and enhanced operations of these systems by operators.

Please watch for contractors working in and around the community over the coming weeks, slow down and obey any signage that may be in place.
