TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 8, 2011) - As a result of the postal strike, Enbridge's (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) ability to mail bills and its customers' ability to mail payments may be affected. While customers remain responsible for making payments on their accounts, Enbridge Gas Distribution offers options to help its customers manage their accounts during this time.

"Enbridge Gas Distribution is committed to helping our residential customers keep their accounts up to date and we encourage customers to ensure payments are current," says Enbridge Gas Distribution Vice President Arunas Pleckaitis. "While the most convenient alternative to receive a bill for the majority of affected customers is paperless billing, it is just one of the ways to find out how much you owe. There are also a number of payment alternatives."

Customers who normally receive a paper bill by mail can find out their current balance owing in a number of ways:

--  Register for myEnbridge. In minutes customers can sign-up for
    myEnbridge, which allows them to retrieve account balances online. To
    register, customers will need a copy of their Enbridge bill and an email
    address. Customers can visit enbridgegas.com 24 hours a day, seven days
    a week. 

--  Sign up for paperless billing: Paperless billing provides customers the
    ability to receive their bills online. Customers who sign-up for
    paperless billing on or before June 16, 2011 will be automatically
    entered into a contest for a chance to win one of 10 Apple iPad2s
    (approximate retail value $500).(i) Details are available at
    enbridgegas.com. 

--  Listen to our automated phone system: Customers without internet access
    can use Enbridge's automated phone system at 1-877-362-7434 to check
    their balance. 

--  Budget Billing Plan: Customers who have already signed up for Enbridge's
    Budget Billing Plan can use the amount owing for April to estimate what
    they owe in each month. 

Customers can use one of a number of convenient payment options:

--  Sign up for preauthorized payments: Customers can sign up for
    preauthorized payments at enbridgegas.com. Simply download and print the
    authorization form online or use the "tear-off" application form on the
    return envelope that came with a previous bill. Fax the completed form
    and a copy of a voided personal cheque to our Customer Service Centre at
    1-866-848-8478. 

--  Online, telephone or in person banking: Payments can be made using your
    bank's online internet banking services, telephone banking or in person
    at a branch. 

--  Drop boxes: Payment drop boxes are located outside three Enbridge
    offices: 500 Consumers Road, Toronto; 400 Coventry Road, Ottawa; and
    3401 Schmon Parkway, Thorold. Payments at drop boxes should be made by
    cheque and include your name, address, phone number and Enbridge account
    number. Please note that Enbridge will require additional time to
    process payments dropped off at these boxes.
