Street Lights
Street lights located along Borough roads are maintained by Matanuska Electric Association. Street light bills are funded by individual road service areas. The borough currently pays the monthly light bills for381 street lights located throughout the Borough. Contact Public Works (907) 745-9804 to report an outage and we will notify Matanuska Electric Association.
Contact your individual Road Service Area Supervisors to request a street light in your area. If you are unsure of who your supervisor is, contact the Public Works Department (907) 745-9804 for this information.
Individuals will need to request their Supervisor to include the street light installation in the capital improvement program. The borough considers the following factors when analyzing the location for a street light:
- Public safety
- Site distance
- School bus stop
- Traffic density
The capital improvement program process begins with a priority list from the 16 Road Service Area Supervisors which is received by Public Works by December 31. Cost estimates are prepared, funding levels established, and approval is received from the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly. Approval occurs in February and the work begins after spring break-up. You may contact the Department of Public Works at (907) 745-9828 to see if your light is included in the capital improvement program, or click HERE to view the Summer 2008 Capital Improvement Program listed by road service area.
