Spectrum Rollout

Charter Communications, the parent company of Spectrum, is rolling out internet, phone, and enhanced connectivity services in Copper Canyon, marking a significant step forward for the community’s technological infrastructure.

The project begins with pre-construction utility marking. Homeowners may notice white lines, flags, and paint in their yards, marking existing utilities. These markers, placed by 811 (USIC) and the local water department, are critical for safe construction and should not be removed until work is complete.

Spectrum is committed to keeping residents informed throughout the process. Door tags will be distributed at least 48 hours before construction begins, alerting homeowners to activity in their area. These tags will include a QR code linking to detailed project information and a platform for submitting complaints or concerns. Additionally, signage will be posted at neighborhood entrances announcing Spectrum’s arrival. You can also go to the town website for more information about the project.

As 2024 ends, I want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for making our community such a special place to call home.

May your holiday season be filled with joy, peace, and treasured moments with family and friends. As we look forward to the New Year, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain committed to making Copper Canyon a special community.

I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here’s to a bright and prosperous 2025!
