Progress With Streetlight Repair
Streetlight Repair Update
Clark County continues to make significant strides in addressing streetlight repairs to ensure our community remains well-lit. Clark County Public Works currently maintains over 65,000 streetlights (and growing!) throughout unincorporated Clark County.

We are in the process of ordering and purchasing additional equipment to support streetlight repairs. We’ve also hired contractors to assist in laying foundations and handling overhead and underground wiring. |
Solar streetlight poles have already been installed by Clark County Public Works on St. Louis Avenue, which are the first in our pilot program to test the effectiveness of solar streetlights within the Las Vegas valley. We are currently working to expand the pilot program by purchasing additional solar streetlight equipment. This is the newest approach as CCPW continuously evaluates methods to combat the increase of copper wire theft throughout our community. | |
Expanded Workforce We've doubled our streetlight repair staff since the beginning of the year. In addition to electricians actively working through tickets, staff is now addressing tickets with 1 crew dedicated to replacing poles and 1 crew focused on pulling wire. |
Addressing FixIt Ticket Volume Since FixIt ClarkCounty launched in 2020, we've received over 16,000 streetlight tickets. While many are duplicates, we have dedicated Public Works staff members working diligently to address all issues. |
Increased Productivity Starting November 2024, we will implement swing shifts to further increase productivity. |
Clark County is committed to investing in the infrastructure needed for long-term solutions. With ongoing efforts, an increased workforce, and additional equipment, we are making strong progress to ensure brighter streets for all.
