PNM contractors will be performing pole inspections in the Silver City area beginning tomorrow, June 21st. These inspections are part of an ongoing effort to support continued safety and reliability throughout the service area. It is possible that workers may need access to a customer’s property if a pole is inside of a property but will never ask to enter a home unless a previous appointment was scheduled by a customer. The project is expected to last through September. If you have any questions or concerns about the project, call 833-910-3670 and leave a message and a PNM rep will get back to you as soon as possible.
Gila Trails volunteers have been working hard to help clear trails in the Gila and its surrounding areas. Volunteers recently cleaned around Lilley Park and Prior Cabin by removing large hazardous trees down to White Creek Flats and by brushing the switchbacks. They also helped clear trails along Gilita Creek, Willow Creek to Copper Canyon, and removed over 250 logs on South Fork Whitewater Tail #798. Gila Trails volunteers will continue to work on the trail throughout the summer.
