Streetlights

By carrying out a conversion process during the summer of 2016 of approximately 1,700 of the High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights throughout our Municipality and taking ownership, (they were formerly owned by NSPI), to new Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, we have reduced our Streetlight Energy Costs by approximately $240,000.00 per year.

Energy savings are just as impressive with a reduction in kwh output in the range of 50-65%. Put another way, we have reduced our theoretical annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by approximately 200 metric tonnes per year; which in turn is equivalent, theoretically, to the electricity used by 29 homes in a year or the consumption of 448 barrels of oil.

This annual savings is significant to a Municipality of our size and helps our Council achieve priorities and operational objectives. On top of that, from an operational point of view, this new technology has delivered better performance in light quality, broadcast area, maintenance requirements and in contributions to GHG emissions reductions.

The Municipality of Yarmouth has a Street Lighting Policy which purpose is to guide staff, council and the general public in the installation, removal and general administration of municipally owned streetlights within the geographical jurisdiction of the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth.  Included in the policy is the procedure to follow when requesting a streetlight installation or removal.

Request for Streetlight Installation or Removal

Also included in the Municipality of Yarmouth Street Lighting Policy is the application to Request Streetlight Installation or Removal.  This form should be completed and returned to the Public Works Department in the lower level of the municipal building by hand or by post. 

Streetlight Outages

Streetlight outages should be reported to the Public Works Department at 902-742-7353.  You will be asked to provide the closest civic number to the outage as well as the ID sticker number located on the bottom of the light.  This number usually begins with the letters YC.
