Update July 28, 2008: I am happy to report that the lights on Deborah Dr. are now working.
Most of the street lights in our community on the Deborah Dr. side have not worked in two weeks. The streets are so dark that I've been using a powerful flashlight when I walk my dog after 9:00 PM. Without a flashlight it's easy to trip and fall.
The day after the lights were reported out of commission our president, Art Glazer, called our lighting contractor, GHE, and asked them to find the problem. GHE came the next day and reported that Pepco is not supplying power to the electric meter. Sharlene Shugarman, board vice-president, called Pepco immediately and reported the outage. She made several subsequent calls to Pepco but so far the lights are still out. Art contacted one of the repair crews that were in our community a year ago relocating power lines. Although the repairman said he would look into it on Monday (yesterday), the lights are still out.
What should we do next? The board welcomes your suggestions as always. Please leave a comment on this post if you have any ideas.

What's Pepco's status? Seems to me that it should be escalated up on their repair/dispatch end.
My streetlight in front of my home at Deborah Drive has been out for few weeks. Do you know who should I report to have it fix?

We recently updated the IFA official website to contain email addresses that allow you to directly contact the people in charge of various maintenance areas. You can find these email addresses on the Board Member page of the website. At the bottom of this webpage is a "Services" section where you will find the email address to report Streetlight Outages.
