Potholes are an inevitable side effect of Colorado winters. The city sponsors a "Pothole of the Month" contest from Nov. 1 through April 30 annually.
On a monthly basis, the city awards a $25 gift certificate to the resident who reports the largest pothole by volume. All potholes are repaired within 24 hours or by the next working day following the report, weather permitting. Working day is Monday through Friday, excluding city holidays.
