Street lights
Street lighting is a municipal service. Residents can report malfunctioning street lights by phoning 250-414-7108.
Blue-hued street lights are due to a light bulb failure from the manufacturer- they are being replaced on a case-by-case basis as staff time allows.
The municipal street light system is inspected biannually. Any non-working street lights are placed on a priority list and repaired as quickly as possible.
