City Streets/Utilities Frequently Asked Questions
Are there specific watering days?
Yes. Mondays are set aside as a “no watering” day so the City can make repairs and flush out the system. Even numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Odd numbered addresses may water on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Do I need to own shares of irrigation water to use the City irrigation system?
No. The City owns and rents shares of irrigation water to provide water to customers on the City system. This is part of the cost of the irrigation bill you receive from the City. If you do own shares, call the billing office (970) 858-3663 so your irrigation bill may be reduced.

How do I get a pothole fixed in my neighborhood or around town?
The Public Works Department encourages citizens to fill out the on-line FIX IT Form or to call the office at 858-9558 during regular working hours (7:00 a.m to 3:30 p.m.) to report potholes. The Road Maintenance Division will investigate the location and schedule the patch crew to fix it. Pothole reporting is greatly appreciated, and helps the Road Maintenance staff keep up with the problem. During the winter months, hot asphalt is not available and potholes are patched using cold asphalt; this sometimes results in the pothole reoccurring. When the local asphalt plants open in the spring, the potholes are repatched using hot asphalt or are scheduled for larger repairs of the asphalt in that area.

Why are new streets chip sealed?
In short, it saves taxpayers’ money. When the asphalt is four or five years old it is scheduled for crack seal and chip seal. Chip seal is nearly one-tenth the cost of new asphalt; reduces UV light, which reduces elasticity; reduces the skid plane and provides better traction; and can double the life of the asphalt.

Is there a plan for removal of snow from the streets during and after a winter snow storm?
Yes. The Public Works Department removes snow from streets based on four priorities:
The first priority is the major arterials, schools, bridges and the business districts, traveling north/south and east/west. The second priority is major residential streets leading to arterial streets. Priority three includes at least one major residential street through a residential subdivision. The fourth priority is side streets within residential subdivisions inside the City.

Why are there odors from the lagoons?
In spring and fall, water temperature rises, causing algae to loosen from the bottoms of the lagoons. Along with the algae come gases and odors. This is a short term situation and rectifies itself quickly.
