Report a Streetlight Outage

Posted on by

Did you know that not all streetlights are owned by the City? Some are owned by the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM). If you see a streetlight outage in your area and want to report it, the first step is knowing who owns it, so you can accurately request a repair. You can see where streetlights are located and who owns them by looking at this online map at: https://www.cabq.gov/abq-streetlights/report-a-streetlight-outage. If a streetlight belongs to the City, you can report it by calling 311. You can report PNM-owned streetlight outages by calling (888) 342-5766.
