The Town's network of 109 ornate streetlights illuminates Orchid so it's as beautiful after the sun sets as it is during the day. Of course, the proper lighting of Orchid's streets provides important public safety.
The Town's administration works closely with the Community Association to ensure malfunctioning and inoperative lights are attended to as expeditiously as possible. On a weekly basis, Town Hall receives a report from Access Control on streetlight issues observed during patrols by the Community Association's Rover. The Town works with Blais Electric of Vero Beach to address any issues. Every now and then Florida Power & Light might have to assist, which can lengthen the response time considerably.
The typically Florida combination of ocean air, heavy downpours and blazing sunshine slowly dulls the paint on the Town's streetlights, so every three to five years, they each receive a fresh coat of paint to ensure that they remain attractive as well as operational. If only sun screen for streetlights existed!
Report a Streetlight Issue
Please use the below form to submit a streetlight report to Town Hall, or feel free to townclerk [at] townoforchid.com (email )or call (772) 581-2770 ext. 2. It's important to bear in mind that only streetlights along streets and on crossings belong to the Town. Streetlights located in parking lots, such as those belonging to the various Orchid Island Club buildings, and the condominiums, do not fall under the Town's responsibility.
Streetlights owned by the Town have an identification number on the base of the pole. Additionally, in the slideshow images below are two maps denoting by number the location of the Town's streetlights in Orchid. Please provide the streetlight's number in your report if you can and/or provide a description of the streetlight's location.
