Lighting Proposed For County Roads
Potomac Edison proposes lighting county streets with 4856 mercury vapor lights in towns subdivisions and roadways at a monthly cost just over 16000 dollars. A PE representative said the cost could be in the county budget or funded via street light districts under Maryland Senate Bill 585 with a 60 percent property owner petition and tax levy. Only capital expense would be underground wiring excavation. A preliminary PE report notes the lighting need is large and delaying a significant program is not possible.
