Lighting cuts loom as districts face higher utility rates
North and south county special lighting districts expect cutbacks in 1976-77 if PG E and SCE raise rates. Transportation Director Leland Steward warned the Board of Supervisors that Service Area No 1 Orcutt Y may be the only district needing curtailment, while deficits threaten funding from the County General Fund. Utility rate hikes of about 20 percent are believed possible, with remedial actions needed to keep essential lights on.
