City of Clinton officials continue to closely monitor the crews that are seemingly everywhere in Clinton right now digging for fiber optic internet companies that are coming to the community and establishing infrastructure.

At last week's Clinton City Council meeting, Commissioner of Public Property, John Wise told the Council City crews continue to try to keep up with the demand for marking city lines as these crews continue their work.

Commissioner of Public Safety, Dan Ballenger told the Council they are getting good compliance when an issue comes up. He credits Steve Lobb for taking care of those issues when they come up.

When these crews started popping up in 2023, they were hitting gas lines at an alarming rate. At several points, the City of Clinton took action to ban a couple of the line-digging companies. Hit lines would impact whole neighborhoods and even forced the evacuation of homes on a couple of occasions.
