Recently, the city has received a lot of questions from residents about why various companies have been granted digging permits in the residential areas of Riihimäki. Fiber optic network operators are currently building a comprehensive fiber optic network in the Riihimäki area to improve services in residential areas. The electricity network company Caruna is also currently dismantling the overhead lines of the electricity network and placing electric cables underground.
The city of Riihimäki has an obligation to allow the installation of lines that serve the community, such as electricity and telecommunication cables, in its areas. The same obligation applies to water supply, district heating and gas pipes.
Operators may not place anything on the side of private properties without the property owner's permission. However, there is no need to consult neighbors for cables and pipes placed underground in areas managed by the city.
All operators are obliged to restore the streets and green areas to at least the same condition as they were before the work started. Site areas for excavation work in public areas are marked on site boards, which show the person who commissioned the work, the contractor, and the contact information of the site manager, to whom feedback can be sent site-specific.
