  • The address nearest the pole is also needed to assist in locating the correct pole.
  • What is the the nature of the problem? (Examples: Pole down, light burned out, light on in daylight, glare, etc.)
  • We ask for your name and phone number in case we have questions and need to follow up with you.

It's easy. Just complete the form, and when you're done, click the "Submit Trouble Report" button at the end. Our crews will repair that light as quickly as possible. Our crews are usually able to complete routine repairs within seven to ten business days. However, during the high-volume months of October through February, routine repairs may take longer - up to eight weeks.
