The MGSA, on behalf of the cities, towns, Special Districts, and the County of Marin owns approximately 15,700 streetlights in Marin County (with the exception of Ross and Marin City). Streetlights require ongoing maintenance to assure proper operations. The MGSA administers maintenance through a contract with a private company. The MGSA currently has a master maintenance contract with DC Electric Group, Inc.
MGSA’s predecessor, the Marin Street Light Acquisition Authority, took an eminent domain action and acquired Marin’s streetlights from PG&E. The action saved jurisdictions more than $500,000 in maintenance that first year. Maintenance savings continue to this day.
