Mission Statement:
"Every Light, Every Night"

For all defective street light requests, you may call our 24-hour number at (215) 686-5610 or our Customer Affairs Unit at (215) 686-5560 between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

The 100,000 street lights are owned by the city and repaired by a combination of contractors, electrical utility and city workers. The contractor responds to all service complaints, inspects the system for lights not working and replaces all defective lamps and photocontrols. The electric utility (PECO) provides power to all street lights and repairs all aerial and underground utility lines. City workers repair all knockdown street light poles, defective luminaires and replace obsolete equipment with modern fixtures.
