Street Lights
Most of the City's street lighting system is owned and maintained by the Dayton Power & Light Company. The City contracts with DP&L and pays for this system on a per light basis.
The City owns lights and/or poles in many different areas of the City, contracting with private companies for maintenance and paying for the maintenance on a per light basis.
Abutting property owners pay for lights by assessment. The City pays at least the legally required amount of 2% and pays additional costs for brighter lighting on thoroughfares.
Fixed rates of assessments are charged to all lighting districts.
Thoroughfares: The City lights thoroughfares when they are improved. Existing improved thoroughfares are lit in order or need.
Residential Streets: Street lights are installed upon petitioning from residents.
