FAQ — Broken street lights in Wellington
How do I report a broken street light in Wellington?
Photograph the pole — if possible at night so the outage is visible, or in daylight with a clear shot of the lamp head. Include a nearby landmark in the frame so utility crews can locate it. Submit and the report goes out to Wellington's lighting authority and contractors.
Should I report a flickering or dim light?
Yes — flickering lights often signal an imminent failure or a wiring problem that's a fire risk. Mark severity as Medium and add "flickering" or "intermittent" in the description.
What if a whole row of lights is out?
Take one photo showing the dark stretch, then submit a single report describing the extent ("12 lamps out on Jalan Penang from junction X to junction Y"). One coordinated report is more useful than many duplicates.
How long until a broken light gets fixed?
Repair times vary by city and outage type. Single bulb replacements can be 1-3 days; cable faults 1-2 weeks. Following the report on OpenStreetProblem will notify you as soon as the status changes to Resolved.
