WINTER RESPONSE

There are two way that the Pothole Patrol repairs potholes in the winter:

The Roadpatcher:
A one person Pothole Patrol on wheels who repairs potholes year round.

The Roadpatcher will:

• Clean loose debris from a pothole.
• Apply emulsion to the pothole
• Fill the pothole with a mix of gravel and emulsion.
• Work in any season as long as temperatures are above 15 degrees.

Road Crews:

• From January through April the Pothole Patrol must use “Cold Mix” to fill potholes.
• Cold Mix is patching material made of small stone and a petroleum based emulsion.
• Cold Mix is a temporary patch designed to be used in cold weather, which may need to be replaced multiple times due to the freeze/thaw cycle and plowing.
