Street & Area Light Repair Map - Duke Energy
Too simplistic of a "solution"
There are several different utility companies that each take care of different areas. SECO, Fruitland Park, etc. You need to know the right one to notify or else you cannot report the light.
You also need the pole number. That can mean stopping in the lane of traffic to get out and note it. That's not safe. CW has warning lights on their vehicles for when they are stopped in traffic lanes. They also can radio the information to dispatch, who has a computer ready and waiting to be used for something productive. Dispatch also has a map of which poles are in which power company.
