Hello Michael. Thank You for your prompt and detailed Input. I will add
that as Carson noted, The CMP Line crew at Canco Road in Portland are very
prompt and Safety conscious. There are a team of Line Troubleshooters that
are on duty during the normal day hours as well as after hours and on
weekends and holidays. In the Summer months if a Complete Fixture needs to
be replaced, they try doing that after sunset, in case the Housing is
occupied by Wasps or Hornets. They are usually dormant in darkness !!!
Are the Wood Poles in Westbrook still maintained by The Telephone Company?
Now Consolidated Communications ?
Thank You Michael
Merry Christmas !!!

Hi John and all,
The streetlights in the City of Westbrook are maintained by Central Maine
Power. They have just recently upgraded about 90% of the lights in the city
to LED. We have had various outage issues they are still working on and are
still waiting on LED lights for the ornamental lighting. I have copied our
Director of Public Services Eric Dudley who can possibly provide some
additional information.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
MF

Good morning Spokes!
This is the season when street light issues come up given the shorter
daytime hours. We would like to obtain information from you all on how your
municipality manages the maintenance of street lamps to share with Spokes
who are looking for ideas and want to know how other places across the
state manage street lights.
Are the street lights in your town or city owned and maintained by the
municipality? If not, what electric utility company is in charge of this
infrastructure?
Also, please mention your satisfaction with this service and maintenance,
and if you've been involved in service agreements, outage issues, improving
the street lighting, or any other issue regarding street lights in your
city or town.
Thank you, and I'll be sharing a summary of the info once I hear back!
Be well, take care,
Angela
