City considers boiler policy
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Staff with the City of Fergus Falls are considering adopting an ordinance for the use of outdoor wood boilers.
Wood stoves have become increasingly popular due to rising fuel costs, says Daryl Johnson, building inspector and zoning administrator. For this reason, an ordinance addressing the regulation and safety of these stoves is appropriate.
On Tuesday Johnson presented members of the city’s Planning Commission with a copy of the boiler ordinance for the City of Oronoco in southeastern Minnesota. Members will return with comments on the ordinance when the group meets June 9. A Fergus Falls policy may eventually make its way to the city council for approval.
Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by cueball66 (anonymous) on May 28, 2008 at 11:36 p.m. (Suggest removal)
I hope this is not going to be a trend of the city to take away alternative engery sources. first it was the wind now wood next it will be solar. it tends to show that the only thing the city is proactive on is making laws on technology that might help people, and keeping the boys club going.
