Established 33 years ago, Kogovsek & Associates, Inc. continues to provide affordable, effective support for Western interests on responsible water resource management, development and conservation, use and protection of our public lands, Native American issues and access to federal support for related programs.

The small, Colorado-based firm was founded by the late Ray Kogovsek, a former legislator and Congressman who passed away in 2017.  This year, I completed the purchase of the firm and am honored to now serve as its President.

I believe the breadth of our client history speaks clearly on behalf of our ability to navigate the complex legislative and administrative processes, particularly at the federal level.  So does the long-standing nature of our client portfolio.

Kogovsek & Associates’ priorities remain a close working relationship with its client family, and maintaining strong working relationships on both sides of the political aisle.

The Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority provides low-cost financing to governmental agencies in Colorado primarily for water and wastewater infrastructure development. 

It is the policy of the Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority to assist local governments with financing water and wastewater infrastructure in a manner that is flexible and cost-effective yet does not jeopardize the Authority’s principal or security.

Long before the city of Denver was established, the South Platte River and Cherry Creek were oases for people who traveled the dry Great Plains. These early travelers could do without many things, but not water. That's why pioneers, and the American Indians before them, camped along the banks of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. The first residents of the area drank water directly from the creek and river. Surface wells and buckets of water sufficed for a while as a delivery system, but they soon proved inadequate. Irrigation ditches were the next step forward.

Soon, water companies began offering service to settlers. By the late 1800s, several water companies had fought, collapsed or merged. In 1918, Denver residents voted to buy the Denver Union Water Company and form the municipal agency now known as Denver Water. In doing so, voters created an entity that would operate independently from city government, thereby keeping water service separate from local politics.

Today, Denver Water is the largest and oldest water utility in the state. Its service area covers more than 335 square miles, including the City and County of Denver and several suburban distributors. A system of reservoirs networked by tunnels and canals provides water to more than a million people. Three major treatment plants — Marston, Moffat and Foothills — maintain water quality under the watchful eye of the Denver Water Quality Control Laboratory.
