Streetlight User Charge

The Marshall Village Board adopted Ordinance No. 2023-04 on September 12, 2023, creating a Streetlight Electric Expenditure Recovery User Charge (Streetlight User Charge). The charge is billed to property owners to cover the costs of the electricity for the Village’s public streetlight system.

Generally, the charge will appear on your monthly municipal service bill (water bill) if you own your property and have Village services (water or sewer services, refuse / recycling pickup). The Charge will show as a Streetlight Recovery Fee on your bill.

For safety reasons, most repairs are made during daylight hours. Since lights typically are off during the day, a pole number and precise location description helps us find and repair the correct light. If we have trouble finding the light, we may attempt to contact you using the contact information you provide.

Typically, we complete repair within 72 hours. If repair requires more time, we notify you of the delay.

Identifying light owner

Outdoor lights are owned and maintained by municipalities, property owners and utilities. Before making a report to us, attempt to confirm whether we are the responsible party. Our light poles have a numbered metal tag. If a tag is damaged or missing, report the pole's location to us.

Lights attached to buildings, lights on square poles and lights hanging directly from wires without brackets typically are owned by municipalities, private business or other private parties. We do not service these lights. Contact the municipality or business where the lights are located.
