Did you know that the streetlights in Troutdale are owned, operated and maintained by a Special Service District? The Mid-County Street Lighting Service District is administered by Multnomah County’s Department of Community Services and is a proud partner with the City of Troutdale to provide quality street lighting for the City. They own more than 2,500 lights within the county. In the past you’ve contacted Portland General Electric (PGE) if a streetlight front of your home was out, but Mid-County Lighting District is now the primary contact point for these requests.
In addition to Troutdale, Mid-County owns lights in Fairview, Maywood Park, and unincorporated urban pockets of Multnomah County east and west of the Willamette River. There are currently two Multnomah County employees working part-time for the District and they partner with electrical contractors, internal staff and the City of Gresham to operate and maintain the street lights.
