Mayor Michael Victorino answers some of the most-asked questions

Q: How do I report a streetlight that’s out near my home? I’m worried it might be difficult for elderly people driving at night.

A: Mahalo for asking this question because I believe it’s a good reminder for the public.

Please report streetlight outages to Maui Electric Company by calling its 24-hour trouble line at 871-7777 on Maui and (877) 871-8461 on Molokai and Lanai. You can also go online to https://www.mauielectric.com/safety-and-outages/power-outages/report-streetlight-outage.

MECO will ask you for the number located on the pole and the location of the streetlight. It’s important to report nonworking streetlights when you see them to help improve safety of our roadways. Mahalo for your assistance.
