For Individual Customers
Any Elizabethton Electric
System (EED) rate payer wanting an outdoor light installed may contact
our Street Lighting Department. Our security lights are available
in several types and wattages to meet your needs. There is an installation charge of $50.00 for just a light and $180.00 for 1 pole and 1 light. You must come to our offices to apply for outdoor
lights between 8:00 AM-5:00 PM each weekday.
You will be asked to sign a one year and a three year contract (after a year
we just continue to bill you on a monthly basis for as long as you
need the light). The contract contains stipulations, which you should
understand before you sign. In summary they are:
- All outdoor lights will always remain the property
of EED. You simply rent their use.
- All maintenance (bulbs, ballasts, photocells,
etc.) will be performed by EED.
- If you are a renter, the property owner must
also sign the contract. The owner is obliged to pay rent on the
light for a minimum of one year even if the property is vacated.
- Rural lights will only be attached to poles
owned and maintained by EED or the local Telephone Company (we
will not attach light fixtures to privately owned poles or to
buildings).
- Your monthly charge will be based on the type
and wattage of the fixture, and the pole to which it is attached.
(See rate schedule below).
- The charge for the light will be added to your
monthly electric bill.
- The placement of rural lights may not interfere
with line or pole relocation or with future line construction.
The following table lists the types and rates charged
for Outdoor Lights offered by EED.
