WATCH: PG residents asked to save more energy despite FortisBC’s natural gas levels almost at normal

Fortis BC says it’s getting close to a normal level of natural gas, but the demand is still outpacing the supply.

This comes days after Enbridge increased operating pressure to 85% on a pipeline that ruptured north of Prince George in October.
