Board approves MMU electrical conduit and Preston Telephone fiber permits
Summary
Jackson County approved two utility permits: MMEU will directional-bore high-voltage conduit on 200th Avenue with a four-foot minimum depth; Preston Telephone will bore fiber to serve a new home at 66554 75th Avenue. Both were recommended by county engineering.
Engineering staff recommended approval of a directional-boring permit submitted by MMEU to install high-voltage conduit along 200th Avenue in Maquoketa Township; the board confirmed the minimum burial depth for electrical cables (4 feet) differs from communications cable depths and approved the permit.
The board then approved a separate Preston Telephone permit to bore fiber in the ditch along 75th Avenue to serve a new house at 66554 75th Avenue in Van Buren Township. Engineering reported no problems with either installation and the board approved both permits by voice vote.
