DETROIT, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Streetlight out?  If you're a Detroit Edison residential or business customer, you now can report it online at dteenergy.com/streetlight.

"We have more than 200,000 street lights in our service area.  When there's a problem that we need to know about, our customers' help can be invaluable," said Ed Henderson, Detroit Edison's manager of Community Lighting.  "With our new online system, reporting an outage –and getting it fixed – is easier and faster than ever."
