Street Lights

Streetlight Maintenance

With the conversion of all City-owned streetlights to LEDs with web-based controls city staff will be able to receive alerts and monitor streetlight status in near real time. In most cases we should know when a streetlight goes out and be able to repair the problem before you notice the light is out. If you do happen to notice a streetlight issue please check the pole for a City pole label or PGE pole tag. For the next year or so some poles will have PGE pole tag and a City pole label. If a pole has a city label and a PGE tag it is owned and maintained by the City. 

For City-owned and maintained poles: call (503)668-5310 or email: streetlights@ci.sandy.or.us and give us the five-digit number on the label

For PGE-owned and maintained poles please follow the procedure below:

PGE lights are on poles with a round metal tag with identifying numbers - a "map number" (e.g. D2413), and a "pole number" (e.g. 7563). Find these numbers, write them down, and e-mail LightOut@pgn.com  

You can also visit PGE's website at http://www.portlandgeneral.com , select Safety and Outages and click on the Report a Streetlight link. Usually PGE repairs the light within a couple of weeks.

If you can't find a pole tag or label please note the nearest street address instead. If you don't have email access call 503-489-2161 and the City will determine who owns and maintains the light and notify them for you.

Streetlighting Guidelines

To assist designers and developers with design of illumination for public streets and roads the City has adopted streetlighting guidelines with a description of the process and information on approved materials (see link below).
