Report Potholes Online

You may also contact Public Works by calling (303) 651-8416 for questions or to report a problem. If a pothole is so large or deep that it is presenting a safety hazard for motorists or pedestrians and it is a weekend, please call and report it to the Police Dispatch at (303) 651-8501.
