I am trying to report a street light outage on our street. My address is 8096 Steeple Chase Court and the light is directly across my house. I’ve contacted Dominion and they say it is not their responsibility. The coding on the street is as follows: CO611 and AG45. This is very dangerous as we have children who play outside. Please confirm and have the problem addressed.
