Streetlight Program
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 typical Florida combination of ocean air, heavy downpours, and blazing sunshine slowly dulls the paint on the Town’s streetlights, so every 3 to 5 years, they each receive a fresh coat of paint to ensure that they remain attractive as well as operational. If only sunscreen for streetlights existed!
Report a Streetlight Issue
Please use the form below to submit a streetlight report to Town Hall, or feel free to email the Town Hall or call (772) 581-2770 extension 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 located on the base of the pole. When submitting a streetlight report, please provide the streetlight’s identification number, if available. If you are unable to locate the number, please provide a description of the streetlight’s location.
