Air Quality Update: Moisture Meters Available
Posted on
As the weather grows colder, residents can help improve the air quality and their woodstove heating efficiency by following recommended burning practices.
Residents who use wood stoves are encouraged to burn clean dry firewood to help reduce pollution and the effects of wood smoke on your respiratory and cardiovascular health. Store your firewood under cover for at least six months before using.
Moisture meters are now available at the Village Office for residents to borrow free of charge. Burning wet wood in a woodstove can cause excess smoke. Use a moisture meter to check if your firewood is dry enough to burn. It should have a moisture content of 20% or less.
