OTTAWANS ARE CONTINUING TO BE FRUSTRATED BY HIGH UTILITY BILLS THIS PAST MONTH. SOME SAYING THEIR BILL WAS DOUBLE THE AMOUNT IT HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE. WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS VERY HOT IN JULY, AUGUST AND INTO SEPTEMBER, OTTAWA UTILITIES DIRECTOR DENNIS THARP REITERATES THAT A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THE COST OF NATURAL GAS, THAT NEARLY TRIPLED IN PRICE
WITH THE COOLER TEMPERATURES COMING IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS, OTTAWA CUSTOMERS SHOULD SEE LOWER BILLS, BUT…..AS ELECTRIC COST GO DOWN TO COOL YOUR HOUSE, BE READY FOR MUCH HIGHER GAS BILLS, AS GAS PRICES ARE EXPECTED TO BY MUCH HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR.
