FAQ's

Your Questions Answered: Preparing for Construction and Locating Services

How do I prepare for construction on my property?

As we get close to digging near individual homes, it will be helpful to be made aware of any invisible fences, underground gas lines/tanks, landscape lighting, French drains, etc. To share this information, please contact Us at 662-741-2558 or moundbayou@goarriva.com.  Our goal is to ensure a smooth construction process for all residents and knowing this information will help us work around these details.

 It has already begun! We expect it to last through the end of April in the towns of Winstonville and Mound Bayou. Additionally, you may receive postcards and flyers in the mail, visits from our local sales team, or door hangers on your door. 

Locating is a process completed before construction where the crew will locate utility lines before digging. This process is a mandated state requirement, and Arriva follows all laws and guidelines. Locating existing underground utility lines will prevent those lines from being accidentally damaged during the construction of a new fiber-optic network.
 
Locating involves spraying temporary paint on grass or hard surfaces to indicate where the fiber network will potentially go. Once this step is complete, other utilities in the area like power, water, and telecommunications will follow the lines within the neighborhood and locate where their utilities are to prevent any service impacts or damage during digging.
