Instructions for
CWLP PRIVATE OUTDOOR LIGHTING
APPLICATION AND CONTRACT
 (PDF version)

This application does not constitute an enforceable contract until approved and signed by both parties.

Persons who wish to request a pole-mounted outdoor security light from CWLP may use the Private Outdoor Lighting Application and Contract to do so. The purpose of this form is to establish initial contact with the CWLP T&D Engineering Department and to provide us as much information about your security lighting needs as you can. If there are any questions you cannot answer at this time, leave those spaces blank. We will fill them in after a CWLP representative has a chance to talk to you.

CWLP will provide outdoor, pole-mounted security lighting for a monthly fee to qualifying electric customers as facilities are available (see Program Notes and Restrictions below for limitations to this offer). 

To complete and submit the PDF version online, your computer must be equipped with  Adobe Acrobat Standard 5.0 (or a later version), Adobe Acrobat Professional 5.0 (or a later version), or Adobe Acrobat Approvals 5.0. If you have access only to Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will be able to open, fill in and print out the PDF version, but you will not be able to submit the form electronically.

  1. CWLP will have the final decision regarding the location of the security light(s).
  2. All installed facilities will remain the property of CWLP.
  3. Security lighting is not available in most areas where electric service is located underground. CWLP also reserves the right to deny security lighting in other areas as deemed necessary to prevent damage or other problems to utility, other public or private property.
  4. Lights will be installed only on a CWLP utility pole and only if the pole can accommodate the light and if the light will not interfere with CWLP's primary use of the pole.

  6. No more than three lights (installed either separately or together) will be allowed for any commercial or industrial customer, unless those lights are installed on public property, such as street or alley right-of-way, or installed on existing poles. Security lighting will not be provided for the purpose of overall lighting of parking lots, private streets or roadways.
  7. CWLP has the right to deny security lighting service to rental properties, unless the property owner agrees to sign the contract and be responsible for the cost of service.
  8. CWLP reserves the right to cancel any contract if excessive maintenance or replacement costs result from vandalism or other causes.
