Streetlight disconnections will begin Monday morning in the northern, central and southern sectors of the island. Guam Power Authority crews will remove streetlights that do not provide illumination to bus stops, blind curves and intersections. Areas with multiple lamps on a single pole will also be removed. The Consolidated Commission on Utilities directed GPA management to proceed with the disconnections because the Department of Public Works' streetlight account is approximately $13.4 million past due.Customers with private streetlights are advised to have their latest streetlight billing statements as proof of a streetlight account and current payment to present to field crews conducting the disconnections.
