City offering lamp posts to homeowners South Bend Tribune Report SouthBendTribune.com

SOUTH BEND The city of South Bend is offering to install lamp posts in peoples yards as part of the Light Up South Bend Program.

For a non-refundable fee of $250, the city will install the posts in a homeowners front yard as part of a special Lamp Post Project.

Residents will incur extra fees if installation requires more than 50 feet of wiring or if a nearby power hookup is not available, according to a news release.

Residents may choose from one of three designs in black or rustic bronze. The lamps will feature dusk-to-dawn sensors and control for sky glow.

Once installed residents will assume maintenance of the lamp posts, including bulb replacement.

A limited number of lamps are available and residents will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, the press release states.

Initiated by council members Tim Scott and Karen White, Light Up South Bend seeks to improve street lighting throughout the city.

For more information, call 311, the citys resident service line.
