Significant energy savings in City facilities

City Facilities LED Lighting Retrofit

The City worked with the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) to replace all fluorescent lighting fixtures inside City facilities with LEDs. LEDs are much more efficient, last longer, and do not become hazardous waste when we have to replace a bulb.

Over 800 fixtures were replaced in City buildings, including the two Libraries, City Hall, the Public Works and Police building, Norton Court Parking Garage, Vista Lobos, the Fire Station, and public bathrooms.

All development shall be designed to minimize pollutants that may result in water quality impacts. All systems intended to connect with City stormwater systems, or proposing to discharge stormwater to the public right-of-way require permits and approvals from the Public Works Department.
