The Ontario Energy Board has approved a Union Gas Community Expansion Application for Milverton, Rostock, and Warburg.

Union Gas says customers who heat their home and water with natural gas can save up to $1,500 on average every year compared to electricity, oil or propane.

Union Gas was first to submit an application, and after extensive review, the plan was approved.
