Florida Power & Light (FPL) delivers electricity in Wellington, and the village’s storm pages point residents to FPL’s customer support and outage map. The village does not run the power grid, so outage reports go straight to FPL.

Report it

If your power goes out, report it to FPL at 1-800-468-8243 or online, according to FPL’s power disturbances FAQ.

Downed power lines: call FPL right away and stay well clear. Treat every downed line as live. If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 911 first. Horse owners: the village’s equestrian hurricane page says to keep horses out of pastures with power lines.

The outage map

FPL’s Power Tracker is an interactive map of current outages across FPL’s service area. Enter a street address, city or ZIP code (Wellington uses 33414 and 33449) to see outages near you and the estimated time of restoration. It does not show flickers or brief interruptions. During an outage, open it on a phone or a battery-powered laptop.

Flickers

FPL says interruptions of less than a minute are flickers: its system shuts off power for a moment to isolate a problem, such as tree branches, palm fronds or animals, then resets itself. Report repeated flickering to FPL; if it continues, FPL says you may need a licensed electrician.

Numbers from the village’s utility problem page and hurricane page. If the village issues a boil-water notice, its boil water instructions explain what to do.

When the water goes out

A water main break or other problem in the pipes can put your street under a boil water notice, typically for about 48 hours, according to the village’s boil water instructions. Report a break to Wellington Utilities at 561-791-4010, or 561-791-4037 after hours. While a notice is in effect, the village says:

  • Bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute before drinking or cooking with it, or use bottled water.
  • No power to boil? Mix 8 drops (1/8 teaspoon) of unscented household bleach per gallon and let it stand 30 minutes; use 16 drops if the water is cloudy.
  • Throw out ice made after the notice was issued, and use boiled or bottled water for handwashing.

Before a storm

  • Register for AlertWellington and the county’s AlertPBC; see our hurricane prep guide.
  • Save 1-800-468-8243 in your phone.
  • Portable generators up to 10,000 watts are free of Florida sales tax all year. The village warns about carbon monoxide from your own or a neighbor’s generator, especially near open windows.
  • If someone at home relies on powered medical equipment, plan ahead: Palm Beach County’s Special Needs Shelter Program requires registration, 561-712-6400.
  • Barns with wells: the village suggests a generator to run the well if you keep many horses.

What this means for you

  • One number for the lights: 1-800-468-8243.
  • Check Power Tracker before calling during a big storm.
  • Water problems go to Wellington Utilities, not FPL.
