LAKETOWN, Utah March 4, 2020. The Laketown Council approved a request from CentraCom to put up a tower for internet by the water tank.
Howard Pope, Centra Com, had addressed Planning and Zoning about a tower on Last Chance Hill that will serve areas they cannot reach other ways including almost everyone in Round Valley and on the west side of Laketown as well as many on the east side of lake. It will serve a lot of people. He estimates servicing over 100 homes with about 50 homes in Laketown. Mayor Weston gave approval.
It will be run by solar power, the solar power will cost them more but will be better in the long run, said Pope. They want to put a 32-foot pole. Pope shared photos of the pole and solar panels they would install.
Some homeowners will pay for conduit and a post somewhere close to their home if their home is not
within line of sight. The new dish is a rocket. Pope spoke of the benefits of the high
speed internet for education and work at home.
As Laketown develops Centra Com would like to put conduit up there so they can eventually put in fiber.
