Save a Watt in Wyandotte

WMS wants our community to “Save A Watt” by  installing 100,000 Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) in our homes and businesses!

WMS received a grant from the State of Michigan Public Services Commission to undertake a pilot project to distribute 100,000 CFLs throughout Wyandotte.  The goal is to reduce WMS’ energy load by 1-3%. 

The key to this energy reduction is for everyone to change out incandescent for CFL bulbs NOW- do not wait for the incandescent bulbs to burn out.  There are too many benefits of installing CFL bulbs to wait!

Will you help us “Save a Watt in Wyandotte”?

Where: There are two ways you can get free CFLs:
WMS will be hosting CFL Give-A-Ways at the following local events:

        • Earth Day Celebration
        • Spring and Fall 3rd Friday downtown events

WMS will send coupons between April 24 and May 15 to each household for FREE CFLs redeemable at the following local retailers:

        • Hood’s Do It Best at 1844 Northline Ave.
        • Jerry’s Ace Hardware at 2245 Fort Street
