The Jamaica Public Service Company says its teams have escalated streetlight repairs across the island, ahead of the Christmas Holiday, to ensure the commuting public benefits from improved lighting during the festive season.
The light & power company says the focused effort, which started some three weeks ago, will see almost five thousand streetlights repaired, across the island.
It says this undertaking aims to enhance safety and help foster the holiday spirit for the general public.
Blaine Jarrett, Senior Vice-President for Energy Delivery at JPS, has reiterated the company's commitment to working with local authorities to ensure improved illumination island-wide.
He says the JPS has been working closely with stakeholders, including the municipalities, to ensure that towns are particularly well-lit during this festive season.
Mr Jarrett says the JPS streetlight repair schedule was disrupted by the passage of Hurricane Beryl, and further hampered by the fact that several lights were affected in the hardest hit areas.
The utility company says it has also been collaborating with the National Works Agency to facilitate repairs of streetlights owned by that government entity.
