New Streetlight Initiative
The City of Wayne has recently partnered with DTE Energy to reduce our annual street lighting costs with a new initiative.
The City of Wayne will be DTE Energy's first customer to test a new smart photocell on some street lighting circuits citywide. These smart photocells work in much of the same way as traditional photocells only these will turn off the streetlights at midnight, then turn them on again at 6am and then off at dawn.
This first of it's kind project will result in $15,877 annual savings to the City.
Portions of the following streets have been selected for the pilot program:
Venoy
Van Born
Wayne
Michigan
Annapolis
Second St.
