Streetlighting#
Current streetlight improvement locations have been chosen by Light & Power in an effort to add lighting to areas that do not meet our residential lighting standards, are physically able to be installed without interference from trees, landscape, etc., and/or are readily accessible from a power source.
More information about streetlight installation requests can be found here.
Conversion Process
During the rear-of-lot to front-of-lot conversion, Light & Power will be updating residential street lighting to obtain current luminance and illuminance lighting levels that have been adopted by the City of Fort Collins. These levels are intended to provide adequate visibility for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
For additional lighting requests outside of the rear-of-lot to front-of-lot conversion area, please refer to the Eligible Areas for Streetlight Improvements page.

Shrubs and trees require less water than bluegrass, so it's best to water them separately.
The watersheds where our water comes from drain snowmelt and rainfall to the Cache la Poudre and Big Thompson rivers and Horsetooth Reservoir.
