Help My Street Light Is Out! How Do I Get It Fixed?

Ever had a street light go out in your neighborhood and wonder who do you contact to get it fixed?

There are two ways you can report a street light outage.

The first way is to call (depending on your service provider) PSE&G or Atlantic City Electric and report the failed street light so they can fix it. But, before you make that phone call there are three pieces of information you need to have before reporting it.

• The pole number

• Location of the pole

• Nearest cross street

…hmmm, what no GPS co-ordinates?

Now once you have that information, just call PSE&G at 1-800-436-7734 or Atlantic City Electric at 1-800-642-3780 and report the street light outage.

The second way is to use Ask Evesham. This is a system, setup by Evesham township (Department of Public Works), to report problems that need to be fixed.

Once on the page, you will need to create an account if you have not done so already. After you logon, the easiest method is to click on Find Answers (shown with arrow in below screen shot) and search for street light.

The search will return "I have a street light out on my street?" link, after clicking on it, you just need to fill out the service request form and submit it.

The Department of Building and Grounds will submit your request to the appropriate Electric Company.

The all you need to do is wait and PSE&G or Atlantic City Electric will be around with-in a few days (aprox seven days) and fix the street light.
