Board approves QC Communications fiber crossing under Zentsmaster Branch Drain
Summary
The board approved a petition allowing QC Communications to install fiber optic cable under Zentsmaster Branch Drain by directional boring, with ACSO specifying minimum depth requirements for the bore.
The Allen County Drainage Board approved Doc #26-096 to allow QC Communications (City of Fort Wayne/contract contact Linde Baker) to install fiber optic cable beneath Zentsmaster Branch Drain using directional boring.
ACSO recommended approval and the board voted to grant the encroachment. The approval includes a minimum boring-depth requirement: the bore must be at least 5 feet below the lowest ditch grade or 3 feet below the tile, as stated in the petition notes. Rich Beck moved for approval and Jim Orr seconded; the motion carried on the floor.
The action permits the utility crossing to proceed subject to the depth and construction safeguards documented in the filing.
