A problem with a pilot-program boiler and questions about a delivery system are delaying a Haines Borough plan to replace oil-burning heat systems with ones that burn wood pellets.
The borough received $1.2 million from the state last year to pursue the biomass project, but public facilities director Carlos Jimenez said this week he wouldn’t be purchasing more pellet boilers until a continuing problem with one installed at the Haines Senior Center is figured out.
