Board approves utility and fiber-optic right-of-way permits across Washington County
Summary
The board approved a series of right-of-way permits, including multiple fiber-optic installations by TechInfo Communications at 601 North Deer Creek Drive East and a 2-inch bore by Glen Allen Utility District on Lake Washington Road, and noted that TechInfo uses a countywide service address.
Washington County supervisors approved multiple right-of-way permits for utilities and fiber-optic work across the county during the meeting.
Motions approved included a fiber-optic installation permit for TechInfo Communications at 601 North Deer Creek Drive East in Leland, a subsequent permit related to the same address (county staff said that TechInfo’s physical address is local but the company’s work may be countywide), and a Glen Allen Utility District request to perform a 2-inch PE bore on the east side of Lake Washington Road. All permits were granted by voice vote.
Why it matters: The permits authorize utility work that may cross county roads and right-of-way; county staff and supervisors discussed confirming state or senator-level approvals before final installation and making sure permits align with the company’s travel routes and county regulations.
Details
- TechInfo Communications: Board members approved permits presented as coming from TechInfo Communications (representative name stated as River Johnson). Staff noted that the company’s physical address is in Greenville but that the permits cover countywide work. Supervisors asked staff to confirm approvals as needed and to ensure the company coordinates work with county road managers.
- Glen Allen Utility District: The board approved a request to bore a 2-inch PE line on Lake Washington Road (east side).
Votes
All permit motions were moved, seconded and approved; motions were recorded as carried.
Ending
Staff were asked to follow up with permit applicants to confirm specific route maps, coordinate with the road department on timing and ensure any necessary state-level coordination (as appropriate).
