Solid Fuel Boilers.
Responsible Department: Cade Enforcement
Over the past several years, municipalities have noticed the increased utilization of
boilers heated by solid fuels, usually wood. Such boilers are constructed in out-
buildings, and the heat produced is piped to the residential building. The problem with
these boilers is that they produce a large amount of smoke and usually have very, short
chimney, causing ground -level air pollution. In order to keep pollution away from the
primary residence, people tend to place such boilers at a distance /rom the residence
semen, creating problems for neighbors.i e
