Still no lights last night

They were not on last night.

Thank you for your comment on the street lights along Ponce de Leon Ave. City staff have been coordinating with Georgia Power for several months on the lighting conditions in this area and will continue communications till the work has been completed.

Would it be helpful if all of us downtown residents contact Georgia Power? We live downtown and need our neighborhood lighted at night to keep us safe.

Could we keep this open until it is solved---even if it is the responsibility of Georgia Power.

Georgia power is working on this.

A Decatur Minute story may be helpful in understanding why the lights have not been repaired:
"Several blocks of street lamps along Ponce de Leon Avenue near the Old Courthouse have been out for weeks. Georgia Power was working to find the cause and had isolated the problem to a faulty underground service line. Before they could start on a repair, they had to pull all of their crews to help restore power to south Georgia and adjacent states in the aftermath of hurricane Matthew. Georgia Power is now back on the project and we have been assured they will make it their top priority."
