As residents and guests are out and about in the community, we want to remind all residents that our street lights not only illuminate our beautiful island, but they also provide safety for all our residents, businesses and guests. To maintain the lights — and our safety — we would like to share two important tips with you.
- Burned Out Bulbs: Did you know the City of Charleston pays for power to light poles regardless whether or not the light is operable? In an effort to save taxpayer dollars, we encourage residents to contact Dominion Energy at 1- 800-251-7234 to notify them of an outage. When you call, please provide the customer service representative with the Dominion Energy pole number found on the pole itself.
- Painting Globes with Black Out Paint: Per the City of Charleston, neither a resident nor Dominion Energy is to paint the lamp post globes with black-out paint. The only appropriate measure a resident is to take to diffuse the light is to contact Dominion Energy at 1- 800-251-7234 and ask them to install a metal shield.
We appreciate everyone’s support in keeping our island safe and beautiful for all to enjoy.
