Working with our partners Westfield Gas and Electric (WG&E), Charlemont has begun the procurement process for our fiber optic distribution network! We anticipate construction contractor bids to be opened at the end of March and the award is expected at the end of April. Information is available in the COMMBUYS procurement announcement.
The distribution network is the main fiber-optic lines running from the network equipment room in the basement of the town hall along most of the roads in town. The distribution network terminates at “taps” (called MSTs) located on utility poles near each serviceable house or structure.
