Santa Clara County Lighting Service Area

The District operates, maintains and services the County-owned streetlights located in areas of public right-of-way in a number of different unincorporated communities of the County. Maintenance of the streetlights includes repair, removal or replacement of all, or part of, any streetlight. The District reimburses Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) for services rendered to PG&E-owned streetlights, including the cost of electricity for all lights within the District. The County Roads and Airports Department provides the maintenance and program management services on behalf of the District. The District acts as a financing mechanism to reimburse the County and PG&E for these services, and does not maintain its own dedicated staff.
