Street lights help to make our roads safer for traffic and pedestrians by illuminating road hazards.
Our Works and Services Department observe and pass along reports to BC Hydro on streetlights that are mounted on 'wooden poles' in Greater Thornhill, Copper Estates, South Hazelton and Moricetown, through the BC Hydro Streetlights Information Management System (SLIMS).
We also receive and manage requests for new streetlights.
Street Light Outages or Issues
If you've noticed an issue with a street light, including street light malfunctioning, damage, wires hanging out of a street pole, missing street light base covers, or a tree that is blocking a street light that is causing a safety concern, please note the following information:
- The street light's location,
- Pole number (on the pole, at shoulder height),
- Type of pole (wood, metal, concrete)
- Your name and contact information.
