Union Gas Rates Decrease 11 Percent

Local residents can expect to pay less for natural gas this fall.

Union Gas has confirmed that rates in northwestern Ontario will be going down by 11 percent starting October 1st.

Last month, the utility confirmed that natural gas prices would be decreasing, but was waiting for the Ontario Energy Board to approve the new rates.

Union Gas says the price of natural gas is now at its lowest level in ten years and has gone down 45 percent since January of 2009.
