Reporting Outages
If you have noticed a streetlight that is out, dim or blinking, please report it to the Operations Division at 217-403-4770. You can also report a streetlight malfunction on our website: publicworks@ci.champaign.il.us.
The following information is useful to identify a specific light:
- Address where the light is positioned on the street.
- Side of the street the light is on.
- Please leave your name and a daytime phone number so we may call with questions if necessary.
Once a report has been made, the City will determine who owns the light. If it is a City-owned light, efforts to repair the light within 48 hours are made. If it is an Illinois Power light, the City will notify Illinois Power of a problem and they are responsible for repairing the light.
