PNM helps bring sustainable water to Navajo (Diné) Families
Ground water levels for the City of Gallup and surrounding Navajo communities have dropped approximately 200 feet over the past 10 years.
More than 40 percent of Navajo Nation households rely on hauling water to meet their daily needs. In some areas, there is zero access to groundwater or any running water.
This month marks an important time when PNM hands over the virtual keys that will provide critical water infrastructure to the Navajo people.
The San Juan Generating Station, which used water to produce electricity, provided energy to homes and businesses across New Mexico while adding economic support to this region.
Decades later, as PNM led the closure of the power plant, we committed that our step out of coal was not a step out of surrounding communities. PNM is grateful to the state's Energy Transition Act that we were able to provide economic support to our San Juan employees, 27 percent of whom were Navajo, the coal mine employees, 50 percent of whom were Navajo, and funding for economic development and Indian Affairs.
Transferring our critical water infrastructure helps deliver water to meet the current and future demands of more than 43 Navajo Nation chapters and the City of Gallup. By transferring our existing infrastructure, these chapters avoid the construction of a new water intake system in a less ideal area of the river, saving millions of dollars.
This project secures a sustainable water supply to meet the future population needs of a quarter of a million people in these communities. Access to clean and sufficient water is essential in life, and PNM is proud to be a part of this resounding solution.

We know keeping up with bills can be challenging, especially in the summer when energy usage is high. That is why PNM offers various programs to help you get caught up on your past-due electric bill and avoid disconnection.
Every year, the PNM Good Neighbor Fund distributes hundreds of thousands of dollars to thousands of limited-income families in the areas PNM serves, with up to $170 credited directly on qualified customer bills once per year. This program is funded through the generosity of our employees, shareholders, and customers.

Electrical outlet safety
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that helps protect you against electric shock. GFCIs are typically used where outlets can be exposed to water. They're installed either as an outlet or as a circuit breaker in your electrical panel. You should test your GCFIs periodically.
Budget Billing
Budget Billing gives you more predictable energy bills by balancing seasonal high and lows, taking the guesswork out of your monthly bill. Once signed up, you'll pay a similar amount every month - making budgeting and planning much easier.
