EPHRATA — A Grant County Public Utility District project that has been in the works since 2000 is about five miles from the finish. The last piece of the PUD fiber optic buildout is projected for completion by early December. The last section under construction is along Johnson Road Northwest, west of Soap Lake. Completion of the project will mean all PUD customers will have access to the utility’s fiber network, wrote Christine Pratt, utility public affairs officer, in a press release.
