To Directly Report a Street Light Outage or Issue 24/7 Call: 951-784-6600 (Monday through friday 7:30 to 4:30. Candace service account manager, Jenny is the dispatcher and has been on the job for 8 years.)
The least effective way to report an issue with a streetlight is to "report" it on facebook, or to tag a city council member. Though the members of the city council are there to help you, that's only after you've tried to help yourself first.

Quick story with a quick turn around. I got a text from an unknown number that said,"If your [sic] looking for a quick Wildomar Rap blog, see if anyone knows who abandoned a boat full of garbage on the corner of Penrose and Front street...."
I take it that the owner got lost on his way to the lake.
That's not really what Wildomar Rap is about. Still, I thought I should take a drive over and see what they were talking about.
Just 50 more payments and this baby is all mine!
Yep, it was indeed an abandoned boat full of garbage alrighty. If it wasn't so sad and pathetic, it would have been hilarious. Who does such a thing? Dude must have been thinking, "Well, while I'm at it, I might as well get rid of those old, lopped off tree branches I'd been saving for a rainy day." Though a dumped boat wasn't something worthy of being blogged about, I did report it to code enforcement. In less than a day it was being towed away.
See ya later alligator. (let's hope not)
What is worth blogging about is reminding people how to report such things to the city. First, visit the city's website, cleverly called: cityofwildomar.org
Pro tip: There isn't a green arrow or circle on the actual website.
Once there, you'll see a drop down option called HOW DO I?
Just another click or two away.
There are quite a few options to choose from, but if your issue isn't listed, there's a box for that too.
Like 31 Flavors, so many choices.
If you have difficulty in using the Customer Request Portal, you can email your code enforcement requests directly to code compliance.
There's more than one way to skin a cat... or so I've heard.
Here is a look at the online services portal where you can log in to see the status of your issue.

Has this happened to you? You're driving around town and see something that needs attention. It could be dumped furniture/trash, abandoned vehicles or graffiti.
Looks
like it might make a comfy bus stop, if moldy couches that have sat in
the rain don't bother you too much. These were on Solida Del Sol, across
from where the future MSJC campus will be someday. Photo taken at about

Do you know how to report it? There is a city web page for such things.
Here is what the Code Enforcement page looks like.
At the bottom of the page there is a form asking for the location of the "possible" code violation, and some personal info from the person filing the complaint. One thing that is missing is a place to attach a photo or a video of the problem. It seems that such an option would make code enforcement's job all the easier.
I filled out the form, entered the captcha code and hit submit report. Instead of it thanking me for my time and diligence, it gave me a message I wasn't expecting. (see image)
It said: Email couldn't be sent. This email account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later.
Ummm... errr... Yes, I have sent messages to code enforcement before, but the last time was probably a year ago, and I'm guessing I haven't sent five in total.
Later I was told that the city was having issues with some emails.
The work around is to send an email to the mayor and your city council member. While you're at it, CC Wildomar Code Enforcer Keith Ross. (kross@cityofwildomar.org).
The couches were carted off the next day. Photo taken at about 3:00pm February 15, 2017.
We are a small city, with a small budget and a tiny staff. When we, as fellow Wildomartinis, see things that need attention, report them. Otherwise they might just sit there for months.
The city is working on getting it's new website up and running and hopefully when that happens the code enforcement portion will be updated too... with ways to post photos of the issue at hand. I still have to scratch my head when I contemplate what kind of lowlife degenerate would cart their garbage furniture to a remote location like this, and then just dump it. As long as we're talking about illegally dumped crapola... let's take a stroll down memory lane. I made this mock commercial after seeing a large dumping ground near the corner of Wesley and Palomar.
It's only 47 seconds long, so take a look at it.
While I have your attention, I want to share a fun photo I took.
Few things are as cool as a Wild Omar sticker!
