Service standards
Our remote monitoring system automatically checks each light every night and reports any faults directly to Enerveo.
For manual units, night inspections are completed approximately every 14 days in the winter and every 28 days in summer.
Hampshire County Council aims to deal with faults promptly and within the following response times:
- for normal faults we aim to attend the site within three business days, and repair the fault, or assess a more involved repair / cable fault. In the latter cases, repairs may take an additional 10 to 35 days to correct
- where there is an electricity supply fault, which is the responsibility of Enerveo, the repair of these faults may take an additional 10 to 35 days to correct
Hampshire County Council also carry out checks to keep all street lights and illuminated signs fully operational and electrically safe:
- planned maintenance, cleaning and visual checks
- every 24 months we carry out a visual, electrical, structural and mechanical inspection to make sure that the lights are in safe working order as well as cleaning the lantern
- illuminated traffic bollards are cleaned three times each year during the winter months
- lamps are generally replaced on block, every two or four years, depending on the type of lamp
