Residents Can Rate LED Streetlights
The Virgin Islands Energy Office, in conjunction with the Water and Power Authority, is sponsoring an information night concerning plans to replace territory streetlights with energy efficient LEDs. The proposal calls for replacing 1,200 high pressure sodium lights with more efficient light emitting diode (LED) street lights.
Samples from five different manufacturers are currently installed in the Sunny Isle area along Bennie Benjamin Memorial Drive, on the left, heading north to the Innovative Communications Main Office Building behind the WAPA Business Office.
On July 21, representatives from WAPA and the V.I. Energy Office (VIEO) will give a presentation and answer questions about the lights at 7 p.m. at the site of the demonstration lights. Residents will also be given an opportunity to make comments on the different lights.
Residents can also send comments to R. Arthur Burton at [email protected] or 773-2250 ext. 3106 or 774-3552 ext. 2050.
