Cheaper light in Manteca

Changing 4,800 light bulbs will save Manteca taxpayers at least $150,000 a year. Work will start in the coming month on the first phase of a $685,830 project being financed in part with federal stimulus recovery funds to switch street lights to high-efficiency induction lamps. They will allow the city to trim its PG&E bill for street lights by at least $150,000 on an annual basis.
