Report a Streetlight Outage or Issue
How To Report A Streetlight Outage
Nearly all of the street lights in Lindström are the responsibility of Xcel Energy, EXCEPT for the ornamental lights in downtown (shown in picture).
To report an outage for the style shown in the picture, contact City Hall at (651) 257-0620 or contactus@cityoflindstrom.us
Please report all other street light outages directly to Xcel Energy (click HERE). When reporting a streetlight outage online, you can request to be notified by email when the repair has been completed. You can also report a streetlight outage by calling Xcel Energy at 1-800-960-6235. To help expedite the process, provide detailed and accurate information when making your report.
If the streetlight repair cannot be finished on the first visit and further work is required, a tag will be attached to the light pole. If you see a tag attached to a non-working streetlight there is no need to complete a streetlight outage report.
