	Fiber optics in Ford's Colony Click links below to see where the Ford's Colony fiber optic installation will begin in March 2023. DSA (Designated Service Area) 142 - John Pott and it's side streets DSA 137 - Ford's Colony Drive, Berkshire, St. Andrews and Sugar Bush Installation of fiber optic cable in the FCHOA road right of way will start the week of March 13. The first of nine areas is DSA 142, which is John Pott Drive and associated streets. This is expected to take about 30 days. The second area is DSA 137, which is Ford’s Colony Drive, Berkshire, St. Andrews Village and Sugar Bush. DSA 137 is expected to start in mid-April and take about 30 days. Construction plans for DSA 142 and 137 are available by clicking here. The construction plans indicate the side of the street that digging/boring will occur. If you have irrigation sprinkler heads or underground wiring (dog fence) on the FCHOA property, please mark heads and lines with flags or marking paint. Flags are available at Community Services for your convenience. Generally, the FCHOA road right of way is the turf area between your water meter or utility pedestal and the street edge. Generally, this distance could be 8-15 ft. Miss Utility will mark public utilities (electric, telephone, cable, water, gas) in the construction areas. Your irrigation heads and wiring should be marked shortly thereafter.
