[Neighbors] Street Lights

Fri Apr 20 19:05:45 MDT 2018

Interestingly, the press release by Citelum about the ABQ project notes:

“Proprietary monitoring and management technologies, such as the Citelum CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), MUSE®, will allow for faster repair times and exact location targeting; eliminating time spent searching for non-operational streetlights, further reducing the City’s carbon footprint while streamlining the process of replacing outages.”

Other parts of the press release note the use of a Cisco municipal Internet of Things solution for data collection - together makes it sound like the city should theoretically be notified about non-PNM lights being out automatically.

Citelum manages all city owned streetlights and has responsibility to fix and maintain all city owned lights. Customers can contact Citelum at 1-800-370-0395.

> PNM is still be responsible for PNM owned lights. Customers can report streetlight outages by calling 888-DIAL-PNM. When a customer contacts PNM and it's determined that the street light is a city-owned one, the PNM customer experience team will then forward the customer's call directly to Citelum's call center. Please note the customerexperience team "warm transfers" these calls, meaning a customerexperience representative will stay on the line until a Citelum representative picks up so that street light information can be relayed to Citelum directly.

>> To be clear, PNM has never had a contract to maintain our street lights. They maintain lights that are owned by a PNM And the city has contracted with a new vendor to retrofit our old outdated lights with the new LED version. There is a citywide schedule for that and you may have already seen them and some of our neighborhoods doing that work.
>> 
>> As always, you can help us expedite those requests by providing the street whole number with your report to 311. Or, if it is a PNM light you should notify PNM instead.

>> If you have notified the utility and have not gotten a response in a reasonable amount of time feel free to reach out to me and we can follow up on the status of your request through my office.

I called back again today and was told that it would take at least two weeks before anyone was able to get to the work order. It seems like a long time to  correct the problem or maybe the new company that got the contract doesn't have sufficient staff to handle the needs. I was told that there were a lot of street lights that were out and it wo uld take some time to correct the problems
