LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL (5/16/2008)-- Southwest Gas Corp. on Thursday filed for regulatory approval to lower rates in Southern Nevada because prices it pays for natural gas declined.

The typical residential customer would pay 47 cents, or 1.6 percent less in the summer, making the monthly bill $29.68. In winter months, when residential customers use gas for space heating, the monthly bill would decline by 2 percent, or $1.53, to $76.63.

The rate case would be effective Nov. 1.

The company proposes to lower Northern Nevada rates by 3 percent on the average residential summer bill and 3.7 percent for the average winter bill.


Southwest Gas shares rose 15 cents, or 0.49 percent, Thursday to close at $30.95 on the New York Stock Exchange.
