r . <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> September 6, 1983 • <br /> Page -2- <br /> energy rise, the converted street lights should provide you <br /> savings in monthly operating costs compared to the less <br /> efficient lighting units we are presently using. <br /> Because of the advantages of high pressure sodium street <br /> lighting, NSP plans - to convert the NSP owned overhead and <br /> custom underground street lights in your city to the nearest <br /> equivalent light output high pressure sodium. This will -- <br /> always result in slightly more light on your streets. Be- <br /> cause this will be a large conversion program (NSP owns more <br /> than 70, 000 street lights) , and because of the necessity of <br /> scheduling this conversion work to match available crew time <br /> and minimize costs, NSP may not be able to make the conversion <br /> when you request it, and will have to schedule the work over <br /> several years. Any mercury street lights that require main- <br /> tenance during this waiting period will be converted to high <br /> pressure sodium at no charge. <br /> Provided the respective Commissions approve NSP' s filing, NSP <br /> will begin converting NSP owned mercury, incandescent and <br /> fluorescent street lights to the high pressure sodium at no <br /> charge for the conversion, provided the conversions are made <br /> according to NSP' s schedule. If conversion is desired prior <br /> to NSP' s schedule, a one-time charge of $20. per light will <br /> be assessed to cover NSP' s additional costs. <br /> Larry Benson, our Staff Assistant, will be contacting the City <br /> Manager in the near future to discuss any questions that may <br /> arise concerning this program. <br /> NORTHERN STATES -POWER COMPANY <br /> ' �C�• <br /> William .W.
