Reporting Guidelines

Following these reporting guidelines helps ensure a timely response!

Contact Information

Contact information such as name and number are required. Exceptions are made for complaints about wasting water as this is an anonymous program to help eliminate waste during water conservation periods. Providing your contact information will help staff to validate requests and to make contact if any clarification or further details are needed. All personal information will remain confidential.

Listing Requests / Complaints

If you require multiple issues to be addressed, please make sure to include all the request in the email or on the phone. This helps our staff to direct individual issues to the appropriate person for correction. Provide as much detail as possible such as exact location and the nature of each concern.

Reporting Street Light Outages

If reporting a defective street light, be sure to provide the following information:

• Location of streetlight
• Pole number (this number can be found on the front of the pole)
• Type of pole (metal or wood) - this will help us determine if it’s an older or newer streetlight
• How long the problem has been occurring
• Type of problem (the light is completely out, flickering, etc.)
