By following Dig Once policies mentioned above, ISPs could, if feasible, design the necessary Y infrastructure, including innerduct and handholes, along the designated water or sewer line routes. This would allow ISPs to procure and install materials concurrently with the capital projects, significantly reducing the cost of burying fiber.
