Street light problems are handled by the two power companies in town, not the city. North of E. 96th Ave it’s United Power. South of E. 96th it’s Xcel Energy. That page gives the contact info for each company. But I was able to get a street light fixed by reporting it to the city.

Doing it the easy way

I don’t know if this is really the “right” way to go about it. But I had an excellent experience using the Access Commerce City mobile app. (Android / iPhone)

A lamp post had been leaning over for months and it bugged the hell out of me to see it. Maybe not the most critical problem, but sometimes it’s the little things.

First I submitted a report about it. Later, I got a notification that the city handed off the report to the power company. The street light was fixed within a week. Here’s how that looked:
