Here’s a look at some local news brought to you by Silver City Radio.
PNM has issued a news release pleading with more than 47,000 past-due customers to immediately contact utilities before disconnections resume as early as August 12th. According to the release, $21.4 million in past due customer electric bills are currently outstanding due to the shutoff moratorium that has been in place since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. There are more than 47,000 PNM customers with an average past-due balance of $448 each because customers are still responsible for paying for the energy they have used. Customers have three ways to avoid disconnection:
- Immediately pay the past due balance in full
- Contact PNM to obtain financial assistance to help pay down or possibly pay off your past-due balance.
- Contact PNM to get on a payment plan to pay over multiple months
For help paying a past-due PNM bill, customers may apply online at PNM.com/help or call PNM at 855-364-2950 Monday through Friday from 7:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
