BC residents may finally start to feel the effects of the saga surrounding Fortis BC and their natural gas supply shortage in their wallets.
With Enbridge only getting approval to increase their pipeline flow to 85 percent capacity, Fortis has been forced to purchase extra supplies on the open market.
As a result, Fortis announced this weekend that customers will likely be facing a rate increase come next month.
But, according to the utility, the increases are only expected to run as high as 68 dollars total for the year.
Fortis is continuing to combat issues related to a pipeline rupture from October and is still urging customers to conserve as much gas as possible.
