Planning Police Dept. In July 1997, the City Council passed an ordinance establishing street lighting in all new residential developments. Under the new ordinance, if a home owners wants a yard light, they must pay for the electricity. The porch light is usually unmetered in older homes. This means that the light automatically comes on at night and turns off in the morning.
Some lights turn on and off by switch inside the home, photocells control others.
Loveland Water and Power provides the fuse and unmetered electricity for the post light. We maintain the photocell, if located on the meter housing. You maintain the photocell if it is on the fixture or post. New developments after August 4, 1997. All new developments have street lighting.
