How the New Tool Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The system is built on a “Click, Report, Done” model.<\/sup> You can access it through the Lakeland Electric website or their mobile app.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Step 1: Locate<\/strong> \u2013 Open the interactive map and search by address or zoom in to find the specific light icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Step 2: Select<\/strong> \u2013 Click on the streetlight icon that corresponds to the light that is flickering, discolored, or completely out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Step 3: Submit<\/strong> \u2013 Click “Report an Incident,” provide a few quick details, and submit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Key Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Faster Response:<\/strong> The tool automatically notifies repair crews, which helps them streamline their routes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Real-Time Status:<\/strong> The map often shows existing reported outages, so you can see if a neighbor has already flagged the issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Accessibility:<\/strong> It\u2019s mobile-friendly, meaning you can pull it up while out on a walk or drive and report it immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      If you ever encounter an issue that isn’t appearing on the map or have trouble with the digital tool, you can still reach their Customer Service at (863) 834-9535<\/strong>.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
