United Power, the Town of Firestone’s energy provider, has begun a LED Pilot Project to convert neighborhood streets lights from the traditional amber lights to white LED lights. Firestone has been using white lights on its traffic signals for years and is considering the change for our neighborhood lights.
The Pilot Project was recently completed on Sherilynn Circle in Historic Firestone.
The cost of the updates to the LED technology will be paid through revenues set aside by United Power to be used in Firestone per the franchise agreement between them. The Town may utilize a 1.5 percent credit that United Power banks on the Town’s behalf from all Firestone revenues. This credit is often utilized by municipalities to offset the costs of projects.
The Town of Firestone would now like your feedback on the overall look and feel of the lights. Please visit the neighborhood in the coming weeks and provide us with some feedback by answering a few short questions.
