On National Internet Day, we’re highlighting what reliable broadband can mean for rural health care.

For some patients, getting to the clinic isn’t always possible. Dr. Mary Williams of Urgent & Primary Care Clinic of Clarksdale, MS uses reliable broadband to stay connected when distance, transportation or work schedules get in the way.

See why that connection matters: https://communitiesu.org/broadband/

Zane Adams and Jeremy Dickerson bet on themselves.

Less than a year after launching ZJ Industries, a Lufkin, TX-based civil construction firm specializing in earthwork and infrastructure development, the company is already securing contracts across East Texas.

Rural water infrastructure challenges were the focus of two recent meetings in Oklahoma.

On Oct. 5, State Coordinator Lucas Guinn spoke before the Oklahoma Senate during an interim study examining water quality and infrastructure needs across the state. The discussion covered funding challenges, rate studies and resources available to rural systems.

The following day, CU’s Chris Ranniger of the Lending Team and Trent Neathery of the GIS Team presented on financing options and system mapping at the Funding Agency Coordination Team (FACT) Engineering and Environmental Conference in Oklahoma City.

After 20 years in trucking, Javier Martinez launched MTZ Ranch Trucking in Amarillo, Texas, in September 2025, buying his first truck with his own money.

With Texas construction keeping that truck booked, Javier financed a second truck this June and hired an additional driver.

Many tribal nations in Oklahoma run their own environmental and water programs, working with the EPA and other agencies to protect the water their communities rely on.

This Native American Heritage Month, we’re recognizing that work and the tribal water professionals who carry it forward.

BEAD is expected to fund more than 270,000 miles of buried fiber.

Researchers at New York Law School’s Advanced Connectivity Law and Policy Institute say that digging could generate millions of 811 “call before you dig” requests. https://ow.ly/Uh1250ZZPoM

In a lot of rural towns, the only record of where water and sewer lines run is one operator’s memory or a decades-old paper map.

CU works alongside communities to get ahead of it.
Our Broadband team works with local leaders to plan and prepare for broadband deployment before construction starts. Our GIS team maps water and wastewater lines so crews know what’s underground.

Together, that means fewer costly repairs, boil-water notices and delays, and one less community among the millions of 811 tickets.

Fiber is coming. Let’s make sure your community is ready for it.

Jim Wells County Fresh Water Supply District #1 recently held a check presentation in South Texas, officially receiving $31 million in USDA funding to support critical wastewater infrastructure improvements.

The funding will support a project to replace septic systems with conventional sewer service in Ben Bolt, Green Acres, and surrounding colonias, connecting these communities to the City of Alice’s sewer system.

We’re glad to see this investment supporting essential infrastructure improvements and helping meet the needs of these communities!

Water is easy to take for granted until it stops flowing.

Today's is a reminder of the people and systems working every day to keep our communities running.

Imagine going 10 years without running water at home.

For Carla Danielson and her daughter in Eureka, Montana, that meant hauling water from a nearby creek for everyday needs.

After working with our Lending Team to secure financing for a well, Carla finally has running water.

As we recognize on October 15, Carla’s story is a reminder of just how much access to water means: https://communitiesu.org/blog/2026/10/09/rural-well-financing-eureka-montana/
