If you notice a street light that is broken or burned out, you can visit NIPSCO.com and submit a request to have it fixed. An interactive map identifies all of the street lights owned or maintained by NIPSCO. So if you don’t have the exact pole number, you’ll be able to search for the street light by address or location. (https://www.nipsco.com/outages/power-outages/report-a-street-light-outage) The online tool also provides a status of the light, in case someone else has already reported the outage. For those customers who are unable to access the online tool, you can still call the 24-hour customer service center to report the street light at 1-800-464-7726. Having the pole number available aids in expediting the repair process. The pole number will be something like 108 \ 240.

The City of Warsaw provides snow removal assistance to those deemed unable to do so themselves by a medical professional. Only the snow accumulated at the end of a driveway by the snow plows will be removed by the City. Citizens are responsible for snow removal in the rest of the driveway and on their property. An application for assistance can be found here (PDF).

The city is divided into four sections (north, east, south, west). The spraying crew rotates to these sections on a daily basis, weather permitting. However, rain, wind, or temperatures below 60 degrees will prevent them from spraying and delay the schedule.Public Works
