As development occurs within the city, property owners and developers are required to install street lights in accordance with city development standards. After they are constructed and installed, the city pays for the electricity to power the fixtures. The city may also install additional lights along new and reconstructed publicly funded streets as funds permit. If you notice a street light that is in disrepair or not operating properly, you may contact Public Works at the number listed above. Please remember that many of our businesses also have safety lighting in their parking and surrounding areas. These lights, off of public rights-of-way, are installed and maintained by the respective property owners.
If you notice a streetlight out of service in your neighborhood, please report it to us by calling (972) 624-3129 or email evelasco@thecolonytx.gov.
Streetlights within the Legends neighborhood, the Stewart Peninsula neighborhoods west of Ethridge, and the Eastvale neighborhood are owned and operated by CoServ Electric. You can notify CoServ directly of the outage by following
