Please pass this information on to your members via newsletter or e-mail regarding how to report street light outages.
CITY OF DALLAS
REPORTING STREET LIGHT OUTAGES
With over 84,000 streetlights in the City of Dallas, the City needs your help finding and reporting street light malfunctions.
The City currently checks the freeways and major thoroughfares for outages on a monthly basis. However, due to limited staff, regular patrolling of residential neighborhoods is not performed. Therefore, it is critical that citizens report outages in their neighborhood.
Our goal is to reduce the number of street light outages Citywide. With your help, this goal can be achieved. ONCOR Electric Delivery is under contract with the City of Dallas to maintain lights on public streets.
To expedite your request for repair contact ONCOR Electric Delivery by calling the number listed below or log on to their website:
1-888-313-4747 - Customer Service Line
www.oncorproup.com/communitvistreetlicihts/defaultaspx
If repairs are not made within 10 working days, then notify the City:
Dial 311 - Ask for a “Street Light Maintenance Service Request”
City staff will contact ONCOR, investigate the issues and start tracking the repair time. ONCOR Electric Delivery is required by contract to repair most malfunctions within 15 working days. Only repairs involving knockdown poles, cable cuts or stolen wire justify delays beyond the 15 day requirement.
Examples of how to report locations are as follows:
In front of 2431 Main Street (or nearest address)
At the intersection of Main and Elm next to the restaurant
The 3rd and 4th lights from the northwest corner of Main and Elm
Light Pole Number I N 2E 315 (normally located on the front side of the pole)
Since ONCOR Electric Delivery’s crews make repairs in the daytime, a good description helps crews locate the problem on the first visit and expedite the repair.
Typical malfunctions Include:
Light not on at night Pole is damaged or leaning
Light cycles on and off Wires in pole are exposed
Light stays on during the day Light fixture is in danger of falling
Pole is knocked down Glass or lens is broken
If you need further assistance, call the Public Works and Transportation Department, Street Lighting Section, (214) 670-6904. Color brochures in English and Spanish are available upon request.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE

John Gould, President of the Friends of the Audelia Library, announced that his group receives donations of used books in sufficient quantity to hold frequent book sales at the library. Each sale allows the Friends to earn $100 to $130, and the funds are used to support library programs. The Board has decided that so long as the supply of books holds up, it will hold a book sale on the 3rd Sunday afternoon each month from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and the next sale will be July 20th.
Recently the Friends were given several boxes of American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletins dating back to 1954. Please inquire at the sale table next Sunday if you are interested in the collection or know someone who would be.
Last week, a Lake Highlands resident donated a Clavinova digital piano to the library. The Friends of the Library are currently studying how to incorporate its use into library programs and would welcome your input on how it might be used.
