Last fiscal year, there were 157 pothole patching work orders completed and 35 street maintenance work orders completed for full depth asphalt repairs, Marketing and Communications Director Laurie Mullens said.
“City crews currently temporarily patch potholes using a ‘throw and roll’ method,'” Mullens said in an email. “These temporary patches come at a higher cost per ton. The Pro Patch Pothole unit will provide permanent repairs.”
