Salt Lake County Public Works manages streetlights in unincorporated areas, many of which are operated under contract with Rocky Mountain Power. Residents can request new or repaired streetlights through the County service request system. The County has been converting streetlights to 3000K LED fixtures to reduce light pollution and energy use consistent with dark-sky principles.
Salt Lake County has lighting standards under Title 19 zoning, with enhanced dark-sky provisions in the Foothills and Canyons Overlay Zone. Exterior lighting must be shielded and directed downward, with full-cutoff fixtures required in commercial and canyon areas. The proximity to Antelope Island State Park and International Dark Sky designations has increased awareness of light pollution along the Wasatch Front.
