The Office of Emergency Management is committed to keeping our streets and residents safe. As a result, we have started an initiative to combat street light outages across the Borough of Sayreville. However, we need your help! Our Office, in partnership with the Sayreville Police Auxiliary, are working to rectify the many street light outages that have plagued our town. You may see us out at night in your neighborhoods gathering addresses and pole numbers, so do not be alarmed. We have already begun compiling a list to report to the appropriate agencies below. We are asking that residents consider visiting the below websites to help us report any outages you may notice. We ask that you do this to ensure the information goes "directly to the source."  If, however, you feel as though your complaints are going unnoticed, you may report your street light area of concern by emailing emergencymanagement@sayreville.com. Please provide as much information as possible so we may follow up in a prompt manner. Include information provided such as:

  • Street Number and Address, a
  • Cross Street or Landmark if known, and a
  • Pole Number if you are safely able to locate one.
  • Your Name and Phone Number in the event we have any additional questions or need additional information, we may reach you.

Let's ensure we all work together to help keep our streets safe!
