Report a Streetlight Issue

Somebody has to report it -- that somebody may as well be YOU.

Streetlight out, broken or flickering intermittently?

You can request service on-line at TampaElectric.com. Click on "Residential", then "Customer Service" and proceed to the topic "Streetlight Out".

There is (or should be) a 10 digit number on the light pole; please have it available to expedite service to that light. If for some reason that ID# is not available, please describe -- as accurately as possible -- the location of the light; i.e., between house number X and house number Y, half a block past Z Street on the east side of M Avenue, etc.

If you prefer to make your request by telephone, the number is (813) 223-0800. Leave the same information as requested for the on-line report.

TECO Trims Trees

TECO trims trees surrounding street lights & power lines for the purpose of working on the lines or preventing a power outage.

City of Tampa Clean Sweep Division trims trees for safety; i.e., to enable street lights to cast light further out for safety in public areas.

To request tree trimming for lighting improvement for safety, make a request on-line at TampaGov.net, Customer Service Center, Citizen Action Request,then Fallen or Low Overhanging Tree Limbs. If a tree limb is obstructing traffic signs or signals, click on the appropriate department--this is a different site from the one previously mentioned.

While you're there, notice the various issues that you can address via this web site.

If you prefer to make your request by telephone, call City of Tampa Parks & Recreation Department to make your request known.
