    Submit a Meter Reading

    You may want to read your own meter if you have dogs, shrubs and other issues that prevent access for our meter readers.  We will still read your meter every month if we can gain access. We must read your meter at least once a year to ensure accuracy. You will be contacted to make arrangements for the annual meter reading.

    Some customers read their own meters and call in their readings to PNM at 1-888-DIAL-PNM (888-342-5766). Now meter readings can be submitted online as well.
