The Yarmouth Energy Savers Committee is working on a Street Lights Out Campaign to reduce unnecessary lighting in the town. With the help of two interns and Town Engineer, Dan Jellis, the group has been reviewing lighting in neighborhoods, parking lots, and commercial areas. Street lights in Yarmouth use over 184,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year and costs the town about $100,000. The group estimates that 20% of these lights could be turned off without risk to residents or businesses.
