Manitobans are in line for an increase in their natural gas bills.
The Public Utilities Board says it's approved a 4.6 per cent rate hike request from Centra Gas, which will see typical residential customers pay about about $38 more a year.
The new price kicks in May 1, but the board says customers with signed fixed-term, fixed-price contracts are not affected.
Primary gas rates will be reviewed again in August.
