Fiber-optic lines use a hair-thin filament of glass to carry pulses of light to transmit telephone, high-speed Internet access and television. Chelan County PUD’s fiber carries all services over one single fiber, providing the convenience of one local contact, one bill and savings on bundled services.
Chelan County PUD is building a wholesale fiber-optic network to homes and business in Chelan County. More than 9,000 fiber drops have been constructed to homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and government offices. These residents now have an affordable choice for high-speed Internet and telephone services, with television coming later this year. All services are offered through the convenience of local service providers. For a complete list of service providers visit www.chelanpud.org/fiber or call 509-661-4151.
