Street Lighting Outage Report Form

Keep Your Streets Safe with Fast Street Lighting Outage Reporting

Street lighting plays a crucial role in public safety, crime prevention, and community wellbeing. When lights go out, reporting the issue quickly helps municipal teams prioritize repairs and keep neighborhoods safe after dark.

This Street Lighting Outage Report Form makes it simple for residents to report faulty, flickering, or completely dark street lights. Built with Paperform, the form captures essential details like pole numbers, exact locations (with optional map integration), hazard severity, and photos—giving public works departments everything they need to dispatch repair crews efficiently.

Why This Template Works for Municipalities and Residents

Municipal governments, city councils, public works departments, and community safety teams need a reliable way to collect citizen reports without relying on phone calls or walk-in visits. This template streamlines the entire process:

• Location accuracy: Collects street addresses, pole numbers, and optional landmarks so crews can find the exact light
• Hazard assessment: Lets residents flag dangerous situations (busy intersections, school zones, high-crime areas) so urgent repairs get prioritized
• Visual documentation: Photo uploads help confirm the issue and speed up diagnosis
• Citizen contact: Optional follow-up details keep reporters informed about repair timelines

Because the form is built with Paperform's flexible editor, you can easily adapt it to your jurisdiction's branding, add your municipal logo, or embed it directly on your city website. Conditional logic can route high-severity reports to urgent queues, while lower-priority issues follow standard workflows.

Automate Workflows with Stepper

Once a report is submitted, you can connect this form to Stepper to automatically create work orders in your asset management system, notify the right department, send confirmation emails with ticket numbers, and update residents when repairs are scheduled or completed. This eliminates manual data entry and keeps everyone in the loop.

Whether you manage lighting for a small town or a large metropolitan area, Paperform's street lighting outage form helps you respond faster, allocate resources smarter, and build trust with the community you serve.
