New streetlights for the municipality of Huron East is nearly finished Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor A total project cost of $656,000 for the change -up of all street- lights in the entire municipality of Huron East is close to being finished. Barry Mills, public works manager for Huron East, indi- cated that the large develop- ment is 75 per cent complete. At this time, the existing lights that are high-pressure sodium and the small amount of mercury vapor lamps will be converted to light -emitting diodes (LED). The project that launched at the beginning of this year is what Mills refers to as "better lighting" and it was something that is essential for the municipality. "There were incentives put out by the Ontario Power Associa- tion to help off -set the costs of installing the LED lights, by hav- ing a return on our investment for about five years," Mills said. The rebate given back to Huron East by the OPA is some- where in the range of $90,000 Mills explained in an interview last Wednesday. "It's an up -grade to the com- munity, as well as bringing energy efficiency into the bigger picture," he said. "We're trying to be energy conscious." Currently Mills mentioned that there are no other projects underway and the all the lights will be finished by this year. ATTENTION ADVERTISERS!
