Yes, I should report some of the high number of street lights out in my neighborhood… 💡

I’ve noticed lately that there are many street lights out in my neighborhood when I go for my evening walk. In some cases there are whole blocks of sidewalk with the lights out. Reporting street lights out is easy online. I am sure dozens of neighbors have also walked by them and not reported them either.

But National Grid is legally required to send out a crew and repair them, and not only does working street lights improve safety, it also means that town street lighting district tax payers are getting what they pay for – they pay a flat rate for each street light whether or not it is actually on and burning electricity or is burned out and dark.
