During Thursday's storm, a major outage knocked out power for several hours in the entire Crestmoor 1 neighborhood, the Shelter Creek apartment complex, and several streets near Princeton in the Crestmoor 3 neighborhood for several hours. After PG&E restored power to the neighborhoods, city staff confirmed late Thursday night that a major RO failure occurred affecting all 27 streetlights on the circuit (see map). As I reported previously, our outdated RO streetlights have been repaired multiple times and continue to fail after storm-related events.

The affected neighborhoods are already part of the current RO solar streetlight replacement project, which includes the Rollingwood and Crestmoor neighborhoods. Installations were originally proposed for the Crestmoor neighborhood to happen later, during the final phase of the project, given that the streetlights in the neighborhood were previously functional. However, due to the current large-scale outage, project installation timing is being modified so that solar lights can be installed in the affected areas more quickly. 

Details regarding the upcoming changes are being finalized now and a letter notifying residents in advance of the upcoming phase of the project will be sent to all affected addresses, and of course I'll report those details to you in an upcoming newsletter.
