The Municipality of Clarington announced that solar-powered lights from the Bowmanville Leash-Free Dog Park will be relocated to the Newcastle Leash-Free Dog Park.
Solar lights were installed at the Courtice and Bowmanville dog parks in 2022. The lights at the Courtice park are working well. However, there have been ongoing issues with the lights at the Bowmanville dog park caused by the overhead high-voltage power transmission lines, said a municipal statement.
After investigating the problem with the solar light manufacturer and Hydro One, removing all the lights was the final decision recommended by Hydro One, it said.
Council approved $10,000 to cover removing the solar lights and poles from the Bowmanville Leash-Free Dog Park and re-installing the solar lighting at the Newcastle Leash-Free Dog Park. Staff were asked to investigate a hardwired lighting system for the Bowmanville dog park and funding sources for the project.
