Report it
- Call 850-891-4968. On Oct. 10 the city’s online outage form was down for maintenance, and the city asked customers to report by phone. Wait times run longer during big storms, the city said ahead of Isaias.
- Or use the DigiTally app, Electric Outage tab, or Talgov.com/Outage when the form is back.
- Check the map. The outage map shows verified reported outages. No dot on your house? Look for orange and red dots nearby; those mark fuses and transformers that may be out or damaged, the city’s storm page says.
If the system shows your service was suspended for nonpayment, the city says to call 850-891-4968.
Who fixes what
From the city’s Power Restoration page:
| The city fixes | You fix, with a licensed electrician |
|---|---|
| Wire to the pole and the service line to your house | The weather head on the house |
| The electric meter | The mast above the meter |
| Other equipment that delivers power to your house | The meter box |
If a tree pulls the service wire off your house, a city crew will usually remove the meter or roll the wire back to the pole. Your electrician must pull a permit with Growth Management, make the repairs and pass inspection; then call Growth Management at 850-891-1800, and the city will reconnect you. The city says not to hire an unlicensed electrician or try the repair yourself.
How long will it take?
“In most outage situations it’s not known precisely when power will be restored to an individual home,” the city says. You can still call 850-891-4968 and ask.
Isaias and the Centerville Road work
Leon County’s Oct. 8 storm briefing warned that saturated ground could bring down trees and cause scattered outages even with winds below tropical storm strength. Separately, City Electric crews are replacing power lines on Centerville Road overnight, from Woodgate Way to about Potts Road; the city says no planned outages are expected from that project. See road construction and closures.
What this means for you
- Save 850-891-4968 in your phone before the next storm.
- Wire pulled off the house? Call an electrician first; the city reconnects after inspection.
- Generators and batteries are tax-free all year in Florida; see hurricane prep.
