Street Lighting... we brighten your life
The
Denison Municipal Utilities owns and operates all of the street lighting
for the community. In communities where the electric utility is owned by
an investor owned utility, the property tax payers must pay this cost.
When added to the other free services DMU provides City owned
facilities, it amounts to $250,000 or more per year.
This is transferred from DMU to the City's general fund. We depend on
our community's residents to let us know if a street light burns out. If
you notice a light out, please call 263-3046, our 24-hour telephone
number, to report it. You can also report the outage by e-mailing us.
repairs@dmuonline.com.
Usually we repair the streetlights on Friday's each week.
Rental Lights are offered on a monthly rental program. If you desire to
light an outside area of your property, contact us and we will set a
pole and provide a flood light the cost of which is conveniently added
to your monthly utility bill. You can view the rates for security lights

You can request a security light by E-mailing us at
info@dmuonline.com. Just
tell us who you are, and where you would like to see the flood light.
