As a provider of a critical service to our members and communities we are working to minimize exposure and prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus to our employees and members.

Should you feel the need to visit one of our offices all business will be done at the drive-through window. Our Preston office has an entrance vestibule members will be required to use for business transactions. We care for the health and wellness of our employees, members and loved ones and thank you for your patience and understanding as we all work through this together.

SWEC is in the process of phasing out high pressure sodium (HPS) automatic lights with light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. Existing HPS fixtures requiring maintenance will be replaced with a LED fixture. Any new automatic light installations will also be a LED fixture.

Current charges for a LED automatic light:

• $20 installation charge and $7 per month – with existing electric service
• $120 installation charge and $10 per month – stand alone light requiring a transformer
• Included in the monthly charge is the energy used by the fixture and all maintenance and replacement costs.
• If a member wishes to replace an existing HPS automatic light with a LED automatic light before a maintenance issue has occured, they may pay the $20 installation charge to have the fixture changed.

To order a LED automatic light or to report a maintenance issue with your current automatic light, contact your local SWEC office during normal business hours. All maintenance and/or installations of automatic lights will be performed during normal working hours and service routing.

Pictured below is a view of the 12 LED’s which are the yellow dots inside the clear domes on the fixture.
