During the winter season or cool nights, wood heaters are generally used by homes in the municipality.

If you home has a wood heater, please consider the smoke emissions that are generated when the fire is in use. Smoke emissions may trigger existing medical conditions for surrounding residents or may simply cause a nuisance as clean clothes on a washing line could be affected.

There are many helpful hints the City's Environmental Health Department can provide to wood heater owners to reduce smoke emissions and nuisance complaints.
