CJ Christensen, center, helps Joe Linebarier push a fiberglass “rodder” into power conduit at a country home above Malaga, Wash., about 10 miles from Wenatchee Friday, March 15. The Chelan County PUD employees attach fiber optic line to the end of the rodder to get fiber from the distribution line to the house. PUD officials have been instrumental in pushing fiber service to the rural areas of Chelan County.
