Streetlight Outages
Springfield Utility Board (SUB) performs basic maintenance on streetlights owned by the City of Springfield, Rainbow Water District, Glenwood Water District and SUB owned “private” lights.
The City is currently upgrading streetlights with LED lighting, which provides superior lighting at lower cost. During that process, SUB has paused the City maintenance to allow time for the City to complete their streetlight project. As of April 2024, the City and their contractor have replaced the majority of lights that are readily accessible. The remainder of the project, which includes lights damaged during the ice storm, requires additional trouble-shooting, circuit replacement and waiting for materials that have been back-ordered. SUB will resume maintenance for the City streetlights when the project is complete.
During this time, SUB will continue to make repairs to Rainbow, Glenwood and private lights. You may report a light without power by calling SUB at (541) 744-3726 with the nearest address to the light. Check for a number on the pole and report it, if available.
You may also notify us via our online Streetlight Outage Reporting Form (below).
Please note that SUB only maintains service to existing streetlights. To request a new streetlight, or for other questions regarding streetlights or traffic signals, call the City of Springfield’s Development and Public Works Department, Operations Division at (541) 726-3761.
