Safer Streets
Summerside Electric provides most of the lighting for streets and other public areas in the City.
Currently, our standard is 40w LED lighting on local streets for every other pole, and for collector streets that standard is one per pole.
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we’re in the process of replacing all of our lights to LED options. We have approximately 4000 lights (predominantly HPS type) and are in the process of switching those over to LED. Approximately 200-250 replacements have already been made and we plan to replace 10% per year over the next 10 years.
Let us Know About Broken Street & Traffic Lights
We try to keep a close eye on all City lighting; however, we encourage residents to please let us know if you spot a broken street light or a traffic light that isn’t working.
If you notice a damaged or missing street light, traffic light, or sign, please call 902-432-1268.
It would help us greatly if you could provide exact details of where the light is. The best information to provide is the pole number, but if that is unavailable then the nearest civic address would assist our team in locating the right light.
