Street Light Installation Policy

Purpose	This Policy shall establish standards and guidelines for the installation of streetlights along public maintained roads. Streetlights may be installed to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety. Santee Cooper installs streetlights under an agreement with the city.

Procedure
-	Streetlights are customarily placed at the intersections of publicly maintained streets
-	On streets that exceed 500 ft. between intersections, streetlights may be placed between the intersections but no closer than 250 feet from the nearest light
-	For streets with high pedestrian or vehicular traffic, streetlights may be placed at a closer interval than outlined above at the sole discretion of the City
-	The City shall determine the type of pole and fixture for the streetlight. Decorative poles or fixtures may be approved for a neighborhood subject to an additional monthly cost, which may be billed directly to an HOA or property owners group
-	The City shall reserve the right to delay installation of any streetlight until adequate funds are available for installation and operation
-	City Staff shall review street light installation request to determine compliance with this policy
