Street Lights

Streetlight Policy

The City of South Portland adopted a Streetlight Policy on January 14, 2020. Property owners may request the installation of a new streetlight provided that it is on an existing utility pole, or may request to have their streetlight dimmed or turned off. City staff in the Public Works Department will evaluate all requests according to the standards found in this policy.
