Background:  
The Town of Scituate has assumed responsibility from National Grid for the streetlights in the part of town north of the North River .  The Town purchased the streetlights and converted them to LED lighting in order to improve illumination at a much lower cost.   (Note, there are a number of floodlights and yard lights on utility poles that remain the responsibility of the resident or business owner who requested the utility company to install them to light their yard, parking lot, building entrance, etc.)

If you notice a streetlight problem, please report this to the Highway Department via the form below.  In order to help direct the repair service to the problem streetlight, please provide the following information:
