Living in Pueblo, NM: what to set up and who to call

Pueblo has no town government of its own, so San Miguel County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend West Las Vegas Public Schools. Power in Pueblo comes from Central New Mexico El Coop, a cooperative utility rather than a private company.
