Street Lights
To increase the visibility of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles, the City installs street lighting. The City of Chico owns & maintains approximately 3,000 streetlights within the city limits and pays for a similar amount of PG&E owned streetlights. This higher night visibility generally leads to a reduction in vehicle collisions and a reduced amount of neighborhood crime.
Reporting outages is important. If one of the City's 3,000 streetlights is out please let us know at
(530) 894-4200 or by email at Right of Way.
