As you probably noticed in mid-October, more than half of our streetlights were not working. Our streetlight maintenance workers were here during the third week of October and again today getting them back into service. As of tonight, 60 of our 61 streetlights are working and the remaining one will be working as soon as they receive a part that is on order.
Here is a map showing all of the streetlights that the Master Association is responsible for maintaining. Each streetlight has been given a number that is also shown on the map and that is painted on the concrete base of the lamp post. If you see a streetlight that is not working, please contact one of the Master Association Board members and give them the number of the streetlight. Click here to view contact information.
#56 is the streetlight that is not yet working because we had to order a new top cover. In the meantime, our maintenance people have removed the entire enclosure to prevent water from damaging it.
Please help us by keeping an eye out for suspicious activity around our streetlight fixtures.
When #53 and #57 were examined today, they both had broken bulbs that could have only been damaged from violent shaking of the lamp post.
We have experienced numerous bulb thefts over the past two years and we believe that the top cover on #56 was recently stolen along with the light bulb.
If you see someone using a ladder to reach into the top of the lamp enclosure, they are probably stealing the bulb, since our maintenance workers typically use either a truck-mounted bucket lift or a scissors-lift platform to perform our maintenance.
Our maintenance workers will be installing anti-theft devices on the lamp enclosures within the next several weeks to put a stop to this. In the meantime, if you see someone leaning a ladder against a streetlight post, please get a description of the person(s) and their license plate number and then call a Board member or the police.
