Reporting a Streetlight Outage

The City of Milwaukie would like to remind its citizens that as fall and winter approach both vehicular and pedestrian traffic begin to rely more heavily on streetlights for their visibility.  Portland General Electric (PGE) is unable to manually check each and every streetlight for proper operation and instead, depends on the assistance of customers to help identify streetlights in need of repair. 

Should you notice a streetlight outage, please contact PGE at: 

• Via phone at 1-800-544-1795 (press "3"); or
• Via their website at www.portlandgeneral.com (Streetlight Outage Form) 

When reporting a streetlight outage, it is important to provide the following information: 

• Address of the outage; 
• Nearest cross street to the outage; 
• Pole number (on pole) if available; and 
• Map number (on pole) if available. 

Thanks to the assistance of citizens, PGE will be able to locate and repair streetlights in a timely manner, and in turn, making our community safer and brighter.
