Broadband Service Registration Delayed until September

Due to contract delays from state agencies overseeing the administration of the PUD’s $23M in grant awards to build fiber to rural Jefferson County, the start of the registration period for eligible customers to sign up for fiber connections from the PUD has been pushed back until September.

Unfortunately, the delay in contracts has also pushed back construction start dates, as the PUD cannot expend funds until contracts are issued. The state has been working hard to manage an unprecedented amount of funding and expects to issue contracts in the coming months.
