Street lights burn 24/7 in Alberton
Only streetlights on main roads and those reported before the onset of level four will be prioritised.
I think you should mention in your next edition of the Alberton RECORD that the street lights are on all day and all night.
If you drive through Alberton, you will see that the lights are on during the day. It has been like that for a few years.
Mrs Le Roux
• The RECORD received the following response from EMM’s spokesperson:
Under current lockdown level four regulations promulgated under the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 and the impact of Covid-19, the City is reducing staff complement in the Energy Department.
Therefore, the City will strive to attend to 90% of outage complaints within 48 hours and the rest within a reasonable time. Street lights will not be prioritised because of the limited number of personnel during this period.
Only streetlights on main roads and those reported before the onset of level four will be prioritised.
Customers are encouraged to still log street light-related queries at the call centre or via the My CoE App.
