Billing

About Your Bill

Continental Divide renders a bill each month to its members. We bill our residential members in different cycles on, or about the same day, each month. The co-op will notify those affected if we significantly alter a billing cycle. At times, we may need to render an estimated bill. When that occurs, we will explain why the estimate happened and will "true-up" a member's bill when a valid meter reading is received.

For more information on residential member rights and responsibilities, please consult the Continental Divide Residential Member Handbook.

In addition, Continental Divide is subject to the general jurisdiction of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC). Our Residential Member Handbook, last updated and approved by the PRC in 2016, summarizes a residential member's rights and responsibilities.
