City of Neillsville to Begin Work Thursday Morning Converting Streetlight System on Hewett Street

Wednesday, November 11th, 2026 -- 10:00 AM

The City of Neillsville would like to notify residents that work will begin Thursday morning to convert the streetlight system on Hewett Street, south of the library, from 220-volt to 120-volt power.

The project is expected to take approximately two days. As a result, residents should be aware that the streetlights in this area may be temporarily out of service Thursday night. This conversion is necessary to accommodate the City's LED streetlight upgrades, which require 120-volt power.

The upgrades are also expected to provide significant savings on the City's monthly electricity costs. The City appreciates everyone's patience and understanding while this work is completed.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
