STREETLIGHT OUTAGE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?
Florida Power
& Light (FPL) is responsible for maintaining the streetlights in Cocoa Beach. If
you have a streetlight outage in your neighborhood, here are three ways to get
it fixed within 5 to 10 working days* (* pending no unusual circumstances
existing at the light pole site):
·
The toll-free
number for FPL Customer Service is: 1-800-226-3545. Follow the automated menu
and you will then reach a “live person”. You will be asked to
provide your name, address, phone number, and the location of the light pole to
initiate a work order/request.
o
If you
provide the specific light pole number (which can be found on the light pole
itself), it will help to expedite any repairs.
o
You can also
get the pole number from the city map at following link: City Map of
Streetlights Find your street – the streetlights including the pole numbers are
indicated by the red dots on the map.
·
You can
report an outage directly to FPL at its website
www.fpl.com. “Click” on “power outage” and follow the instructions.

If contacting
FPL directly doesn’t resolve the problem, the Cocoa Beach Public Works
Department can assist you. During office hours (Monday—Friday from
8am-5pm), you can call 868-3219 and provide the information. We will contact FPL
to try to expedite the repair of the problem-light as soon as possible. If
calling after hours, please leave a voice message with your phone number
