PHOENIX (KVOA) – Southwest Gas is reminding families of available support for those struggling with utility bills as the government shutdown approaches its 24th day.<\/p>\n

Southwest Gas offers various assistance and payment programs, including flexible payment plans and emergency utility aid, to help customers manage their expenses.<\/p>\n

The company wants to ensure that families can maintain safe and warm homes, whether through short-term relief or tools that can help manage monthly expenses.<\/p>\n

Programs include a Deferred Payment Plan, allowing qualifying customers to pay outstanding bills over time, and Energy Share, providing emergency utility assistance through community partners. The Low Income Ratepayer Assistance (LIRA) program offers a 30% discount on the “per therm” rate and reduced service charges year-round. Additionally, Bill Assistance provides short-term emergency support for qualified customers.<\/p>\n
