(10) Is there a procedure for expediting urgent street light repairs, such as when complaints are submitted by elderly people or when a light that illuminates an intersection fails.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) As at 30 March 2017, the number of streetlights owned by TCCS was 78,900.
(2) As at 30 March 2017, the number of streetlights that use energy-efficient globes is 21,014 (compact-fluorescent), plus 3,818 LED fittings. The compact- fluorescent globes have an expected life of four years and the LED fittings have an expected life of 10 years.
(3) As at 30 March 2017, there were 6,908 mercury vapour lamps with an expected life of four years.
(4) No specific program for mercury vapour lamp replacement was separately funded during 2015-16 or 2016-17. Mercury vapour lamps are being continuously replaced under the routine maintenance program. 618 mercury vapour fittings have been replaced since 2014 at an approximate total cost of $988,800.
