Street Lights

BC Hydro and the District of Kent work together to keep street lights in your neighbourhood in good repair and help keep your community safe.

Please note there are two different kinds of street lights operating within the community. Lights on galvanized steel posts are typically owned and maintained by the District, and lights installed on wood posts are typically owned and maintained by BC Hydro.

Reporting an Outage

If you notice a street light that is out, flickering, on during the day or vandalized, please report the concern right away.

When reporting an issue, please try to include important details such as:

• Approximate location of light (address, street, etc.)
• Type of pole (wood vs. metal)

BC Hydro SLIM Program

If a BC Hydro owned street light requires maintenance or replacement, District staff will register the outage in BC Hydro's Street Light Information Management (SLIM) system. Once registered, BC Hydro will place the request on their priority listing. Once a request is made, District staff are unable to expedite BC Hydro's process.

To report a problem with BC Hydro poles or equipment directly, call 1-888-POWER ON (769-3766).
