The City contracts with Madison Gas and Electric to repair and maintain our street lights.

Call MG & E lamplighter at 608-252-7111 if you notice a street light out. In order to insure they are able to locate the street light that is out and repair it in a timely manner, please be as specific as possible. They would prefer the pole number which is located on the pole. If this is not possible, be as specific as possible (i.e.,closest house address, detail description of which light, intersection, etc.)

If you notice street lights out in the Briarwood and Jamestown Commercial Plats, call Alliant Energy at 1-800-862-6222.

The current standard for street lighting is 300' to 400' between street lights. If you live in an older neighborhood and would like an additional light placed on your street, please submit a petition to Public Works signed by all property owners within 300' of the requested street light. The City has limited funds every year to add additional lights. Requests will be honored on a first come first serve basis.

Street lights on McKee Road from Verona Road west to the City Limits are maintained by the City of Madison.  If you notice outages in this area, please call the City of Madison at 266-4767.

From May through November, banners are placed on some of the street light poles on McKee Road and Fish Hatchery Road.  November through March, winter decorations are placed on these same roadways.  These banners and decorations are maintained by the City's Public Works Street crew.
