Starting the week of May 24th, 2021 BC hydro will be replacing approximately 624 high pressure sodium street lights with energy efficient LEDs.
This is an important project to meet federal regulations all across BC and Canada.
The installation of LEDs is expected to have minimal impacts on residents and businesses. There may be some short-term lane closures or other traffic control in place when crews are working, but access in not expected to be an issue. Installation time of lights in each area will vary, depending on conditions. BC Hydro does not expect to have to conduct any planned outages during this process.
Updates and locations and times will be provided as this project progresses.
