DLG Launches New Website

The DOLA website is new and improved.  Access to information about the Division of Local Government's services has been designed to be more user-friendly.

DLG's Jarrod Biggs, Tamra Hooper, Tareq Wafaie and Barbara Musick, put in a tremendous amount of time and effort into getting the new site up and running.  We owe a great deal of thanks to them and to other DOLA staff who helped create a site we hope you'll find is less cluttered and easier to navigate.

We would really appreciate your feedback.  Any suggestions on improvement will be helpful in making this the best DOLA/DLG site it can possibly be.

Here's the direct link to the Division of Local Government (http://www.colorado.gov/dola/dlg).

The Impact of U.S. Census Data on Water & Wastewater Infrastructure is Explained in the Spring 2011 Issue of Colorado Rural Water Association Quarterly
