Utility Wire Crisis in Hilliard | Columbus News

Neighbors in Hilliard faced a dangerous, months-long hazard as a utility wire hung low over their yards—posing a tripping risk while mowing. Frustrated by bureaucratic delays and no clear accountability, they turned to local news, which traced the line to Zayo, a global infrastructure giant. After media pressure, Zayo sent crews to secure the wire the same day, citing scheduling issues. The company says it’s a temporary line while upgrading to underground service, promising removal once permanent infrastructure is complete. Residents are watching closely to ensure the temporary cable doesn’t linger longer than promised.
