Clark County in Las Vegas combats copper wire theft from streetlights by replacing it with aluminum, aiming to restore light to neighborhoods after repeated break-ins. The countys sixty-five thousand street poles have been targeted, draining millions from taxpayer funds. Local leaders are now in phase two of a three-million-dollar replacement project, adding more electricians and subcontracting work. Theyve also passed ordinances to crack down on scrap sales and welded pole caps shut. Public help is crucial—report any open caps at the base of poles. The county hopes to end the theft cycle and restore steady light across the region.
