County engineer says Ziply fiber work is permitted but causing resident complaints

Asotin County Board of Commissioners · August 24, 2026

Summary

County Engineer Joshua Malkin said Ziply Communications has right‑of‑way permits for fiber installation across the county, the project is permitted though disruptive, and Public Works is addressing resident complaints; the county is not funding the work.

County Engineer Joshua Malkin updated the board on Ziply's ongoing fiber installation and said he receives calls daily from residents about disruptive work. Malkin clarified the installation is not a county project, is not county‑funded, and that Ziply holds the necessary right‑of‑way permits; Public Works is managing complaints where possible.

No action was taken by the board to halt or alter the work; Malkin noted the work is permitted despite inconvenience to residents and indicated county staff will continue to respond to complaints.
