​
Q: How can Hilltop just come in and build a fiber system without permission from home owners or the HOA?
A: Hilltop will be building it's fiber optic system in the existing Rights of Way and Utility easements that are dedicated for this purpose when the neighborhood was platted and recorded in 2002. These areas were dedicated to this purpose by the land developer as part of Larimer County's development requirements. Public Utilities have the right to construct and maintain systems within these areas.
​
Q: Are you going to tear up my yard and leave a mess?
A: No. We utilize trenchless cable installation that minimizes impact to landscaping. Our crews are Hilltop employees, not contractors so we ensure that our crew does the job right.
​
Q: What are all the colored flags and paint in my front yard about?
A: These flags and markings are made by utility companies to indicate existing underground cables and pipes. The markings are required by Colorado law and allow us to safely install our fiber lines.
