This is a problem with the power supplies for the lights. The manufacturer is aware of the problem and is working with the county to have them replaced, the power supplies are however in short supply. The county is replacing them as quickly as the new power supplies become available.

Streetlights Are Mysteriously Turning Purple. Here's Why - Scientific American
And yet some streetlights have suddenly turned a jarring shade of purple. It is hard to determine the exact cause without dissecting one of the defective lights, but scientists have a hypothesis: bright purple light suggests the phosphor layer around the lights has been “delaminated”—peeled off—exposing the blue LED light underneath, Brgoch says. Although blue LED lights are, in principle, deep blue in color, they do naturally have a bit of a purple and violet tint, he explains.
