Thank you for taking the time to report this decorative street light outage. Generally, decorative street lights owned by the city do not have pole numbers. The location and photo have been forwarded to our contracted service provider for review and maintenance/repair. More information about the city’s streetlights is available at http://cityofnewport.com/departments/public-services/street-lights.

The lighting contractor repaired and relit the gas light on this decorative pole. The pole subsequently was struck during what the city believes was a hit and run causing the cast iron to crack. The pole has been removed for safety reasons and will be returned to service as soon as possible.
