City saving on natural gas; change won’t affect homeowners
The City of Meadow Lake has been refunded nearly $16,000 in PST overpayments and thanks to a new contract can expect to save nearly $200,000 on its natural gas bill over the next three years.
Beginning Nov. 2016, the City will pay nearly 2/3rds less than what they were paying already.
City manager Diana Burton said the new rate will save the city 50-60 per cent or $50-65,000 per year depending on usage.
Residents in Meadow Lake won’t see a change to their monthly bills since typically their natural gas is acquired from SaskEnergy.
