Annual Meeting Called to Ratify Board of Directors Recommendation to Transfer Ownership of the GCU Natural Gas System to Southwest Gas Corporation. 

 

On September 2, the Graham County Utilities (GCU) Board of Directors approved a recommendation to transfer the ownership of the GCU natural gas distribution system to Southwest Gas Corporation and transition customers to Southwest Gas rates. The recommendation was prompted by recognizing the challenges of maintaining federal and state operating standards and regulations as a standalone entity. Based on internal analysis, the Board has determined that selling the system to Southwest Gas will allow for necessary system investments while maintaining affordability for Graham County customers.
