Manitobans are being advised to use caution when considering residential natural gas contracts as the sales persons may not be who they claim to be.

The Manitoba Public Utilities Board has been made aware that door-to-door sales persons are approaching homeowners claiming they are representing Manitoba Hydro or Centra Gas in the marketing of natural gas contracts to residential customers.

Manitoba Hydro advises that these door-to-door sales persons marketing natural gas contracts are not affiliated with Manitoba Hydro or Centra Gas but are independent natural gas marketers regulated by the Manitoba Public Utilities Board.
