To Report A Street Light Outage

Street lights in Erie are owned and maintained by the power companies, therefore the best way to get a street light outage repaired is for you to report it to the power company that you pay your bill to (United or Xcel).

To expedite the process, you should have the pole number and nearest intersection/street or cul-de-sac. You can call or submit the request via their website:

• United Power at 303-659-0551
• Xcel Energy at 1-800-895-4999

For after-hours or weekend emergencies, please call 303-926-2858

• Select Option 1 for Public Works
• Select Option 2 for Parks Maintenance
• Select Option 3 for Facility Maintenance (Emergency Only - for maintenance within a town-owned facility)
