New LED street lights will soon illuminate the streets of Wilmot and Wellesley, and city officials say the change will save energy and reduce maintenance costs.
All street lights throughout Waterloo have been upgraded to new light-emitting diode technologies in 2017.
Wilmot will pay $388,000 to replace its 1500-year high. -
Pressure sodium lamp.
In Wellesley, Parliament is in January.
The cost of purchasing and installing LEDs from 537 street lamps is $136,700.
Gary Chabono, director of town public works, said Wilmot's work had not yet begun, but the replacement work should be completed by the end of 2017.
Waterloo is managing the entire project and will replace about 42,000 street lamps in the area this year.
"It's a very difficult task," Shapono said.
Wilmot's street lamps now have different life cycles, but some can be traced back to 1990, when old bulbs were replaced by today's high-brightness ones. -
Pressure sodium technology.
Since the project began planning, the cost of replacing LEDs has almost halved.
Wilmot initially planned to pay $710500.
In Wellesley, the town's initial budget was $350,000.
Prices have fallen due to the presence of carbon monoxide. -
Charbonneau said the work would be carried out throughout the region as a single project and competitive bidding by companies seeking it.
"We have been a joint venture before, but this is where we work together.
Ken Seiling, regional chairman, told the Regional Council in November: "By bundling the whole thing together, I think we can reach a better agreement for everyone. "
These LED street lights use only about half of the old power. -
Pressure sodium bulbs, Chabono said.
The service life of the new lamp is also longer, so the maintenance cost should be reduced by 80%.
He said that energy saving alone could pay for the installation costs of LEDs in eight to nine years.
Last year, Cambridge, Waterloo, Wellesley, Wilmot, Woolwich and Waterloo estimated they could save at least $1.
After recovering the installation cost, the total annual operating cost is $6 million.
Wilmot hopes the new LED lights will last 15 years, Chabono said.
They have a guarantee of at least 10 points. -year lifespan.
Depending on the municipality, the initial investment will be repaid by savings anywhere between six and ten years.
"I'm very excited about this project," Barry Fisher said at a committee meeting in December discussing the LED upgrade.
These are 3000,000 lights on the Kelvin thermometer, which means they have a warm yellow hue instead of bright blue or white.
"They should be very similar to incandescent bulbs," Shapono said.
He added that the new LEDs should not cause light pollution.
The project was finalized at many meetings between seven municipalities in Waterloo.
The Regional Council chose fairway electrics on November 1.
30 as the company upgrades the lighting of cities and towns.
Overall, the project will cost 12 dollars. 8 million.
Initial cost estimates exceed $15 million.
Regional governments plan to report their energy and cost savings to the Ministry of Environment and the Sustainable Waterloo region through mandatory Green Energy Law reports.
The new LED will allow villages and towns to apply for tax rebates through energy-saving renovation plans.
The savings of the plan are still unknown.
Wilmot budgeted $200,000 for LED replacement costs in 2016 and the remaining $510,000 for 2017.
Lower costs mean these townships can be reduced to $188,000 this year.
