Southwest Gas Corp. has issued a consumer alert, hoping to brace customers for steep bills this month after unusually cold weather in January.

For customers who want to challenge their natural gas bills, the Arizona Corporation Commission will review bills and check for discrepancies, spokeswoman Heather Murphy said. Call (800) 222-7000.

Customers having problems paying their bills can contact Southwest Gas to make payment arrangements or to see if they qualify for the Low Income Ratepayer Assistance program in Arizona. Call (800) 428-7324.

Qualifying Pima County customers with short-term financial problems may be eligible for one-time assistance through:

● Pima Community Action Agency, 243-6688

● Tucson Urban League, 623-4388.
