Calls are answered 24/7. Repair times will vary depending on the emergency.
-
Verify pothole
Damage on the roadway is not necessarily a pothole.
- How deep is the defect? If it is shallow, and only damaged slightly above the top surface- it could be a delamination.
- Is the shape rectangular? It could have been made intentionally to access utilities, contractors are responsible for these repairs.
- Is it a deep hole which reaches beyond the base of the road? It could be a sinkhole.
If you're not sure if the damage fits one of the above descriptions, feel free to call PBOT's 24/7 maintenance dispatch line at:
