Streetlight problem? Let us know!

You can help us keep South Hadley's streetlights in good repair by letting us know right away if you notice a problem.

Although we regularly monitor and repair streetlights throughout town, we may not immediately detect the one you see. If you notice a streetlight that flickers, doesn’t light, or shines during the day, please call our office at 413-536-1050 so that we can repair it as soon as possible.

You can also report a faulty streetlight by clicking on "Report a Concern" at the right side of this page.

Work progresses on two key projects

A new main power transformer, the major component in our PINESHED substation improvement project, is due for delivery March 28. Installation will then begin with the transformer scheduled to be in service on April 7. New switchgear for the station is expected to arrive August 1.

When the project is complete at the end of this year, the substation will be completely rebuilt and expanded with two transformers, each capable of carrying the town’s entire electric load. This investment in our local electric system will enhance its efficiency and reliability for years to come.

Another key project reached a milestone in February with the installation of some 40 decorative lights and poles in South Hadley Center. This completes the current phase of our ongoing Center improvement project. We will next consider extending underground electric service and decorative lighting down Route 116 from Leahey Avenue to the intersection of Mosier and Brainerd Streets.

SHELD teaches conservation and safety

Local students learned about energy conservation and electrical safety this fall, thanks to a SHELD-sponsored school program that included classroom instruction and take-home materials for some 1,000 students. Our school safety program will visit the Plains School on May 15 and the Mosier School on June 3.

SHELD also recently sponsored a conservation and safety program for adults at the Council on Aging, where a professional instructor joined SHELD Manager Wayne Doerpholz for discussion and demonstrations. If you’d like us to visit your group to talk about energy topics, please call our office or e-mail us at sheld@sheld.org.
