Report a Street Light Outage
District personnel depend upon residents and property owners to report street light damages and outages. Residents can report outages by phone or email. Voice messages can be left on a 24-hour "Hotline" by dialing 650-599-1407. Email may be sent to streetlights@smcgov.org. For prompt service, please specify the nearest address to the pole, or a pole number, which may be found on the pole about 6-feet from the ground. Additionally, indicate your name and phone number so staff can contact you for clarifications and notify you of any repair delays. A District electrician services and repairs street light outages reported to the District usually within ten working days.
