Streetlight Problems#

Fort Collins Utilities maintains more than 11,000 streetlights and appreciates your help identifying those not working correctly.

If you see a streetlight that is malfuntioning, tipped over, leaning, or with broken glass or exposed wires, call 970-221-6313. Streetlight outage notices also can be submitted through Access Fort Collins.

Please include the following information:

  • location (e.g., northwest corner, middle of block)
  • nearest address
  • closest intersection

Some lights have an ID number 6-7 feet up the pole, which is useful, if accessible. Your name and phone number are helpful in case we need additional information.

If you are reporting a traffic light issue, please call Traffic Operations at 970-221-6630.


Did You Know?

Want to save money and boost efficiency? In winter, warm your home before 5 p.m. and coast through the on-peak hours. In summer, cool your home before 2 p.m. and do the same.

Fats, oils and grease can clog the pipes in your home and the City’s wastewater system. Don’t put them down the drain. Toss them instead.

Insulating hot water pipes leading from the water heater helps keep your hot water from cooling off before it gets to the tap.
