People Urged to Report Faulty Street Lights
As daylight saving time ends next month, the Los Angeles Public Works Department is making a push for residents to report malfunctioning street lights.
Improvements have been made to a 24-hour Bureau of Street Lighting hotline to increase efficiency, spokesman Robert O. Reed said.
Reports of bulbs staying on during the day, flickering or burnt-out lamps, damaged poles and exposed wiring may be made by calling (800) 303-LAMP. The bureau may also be accessed through the Web site https://www.lacity.org/BSL or via e-mail at streetlighting@bsl.lacity.org.
The department aims to make repairs within 72 hours, Reed said.
