Lighting accounts for about 13 percent of the average household’s electric bill—cut costs by choosing new light bulbs that have increased output and longevity. Some cost more up front, but prices are dropping as technology advances. Options include color, brightness, and even dimming and multi-way functions.


Combining lights with automatic sensors can cut costs further.

Region Electric Cooperative (LREC), has relocated and reconstructed five and a half miles of power lines on Four Mile Road from 780 Road past Norwood School to County Line Road.


Norwood School to County Line Road was a planned


system improvement upgrade. This portion of work was a part of this year’s work plan. The relocation of Nor- wood Hill road was a joint effort with Cherokee County and LREC.


The Norwood Hill road project meant LREC needed to move electric conductors from existing poles to new poles along Four Mile Road so the county could start their work on relocating the road. This road project will take


out the sharp “S” turns on Norwood Hill. LREC has been working with the county, con- struction contractors,


right-


of-way contractors, and local landowners in the area. Tree clearing was required for the new right-of-way. Approximately
