Chetwynd seeks relief over higher natural gas bills
Chetwynd residents pay 30 percent more for natural gas than Dawson Creek and up to 36 percent more for businesses. The District debates pursuing BC Utility Commission action to secure a negotiated settlement with Terasen, risking about $50,000 in costs for potential savings exceeding a million dollars over years. Councillor Mark Wilfur urges resident input to continue the push.
