Overhead Service
The following apply for a standard residential overhead security light:
            • 100-watt high pressure sodium security light
            • Mounted on wooden utility pole
            • $8 per month billing if placed on an existing pole or $11 per month if a pole must be installed*
            • 12-month contract required if using existing pole; 36-month contract if pole must be installed

Underground Service
If underground installation is required or desired, two options are available on standard underground lighting for residential use; however, due to maintenance constraints, the appropriate option will be determined at our engineers' discretion.

Option 1
            • 70-watt high pressure sodium security light on 10-foot fiberglass pole with 8-foot mount
            • $13 per month billing
            • 5-year contract required

Option 2
            • 150-watt high pressure sodium security light mounted on 20-foot fiberglass pole
            • $13 per month billing
            • 5-year contract required

Due to accessibility for maintenance, Option 2 is primarily available to developers and commercial consumers.

Other Options
A variety of other lighting options are also available, and special lighting packages can be designed for commercial and industrial use. Information is available on request.

Pole Installation
If a new pole installation is required, an appointment with one of our engineers is necessary. Please call Snapping Shoals EMC at 770-786-3484 and speak to a Customer Service Representative to make an appointment or for further information.

After installation, all outdoor lighting continues to be owned and maintained by Snapping Shoals EMC.

*The energy used by a security light is subject to the current PCA (Power Cost Adjustment) factor, based on average monthly Kwh used by the lights. This amount will be added to the bill.
