Priority is given to potholes that may affect drivers, the rest are on a first come, first served basis. This is a day where all crews work only on filling potholes. Crews are given a section of the City and work all day finding and filling potholes in that area. We know that we cannot find all the potholes in the City, that is why we rely on the public to report potholes when they see them. Each street is slurry sealed, or top coated, every seven years.
Slurry seal is made up of a combination of asphalt emulsion, sand and rock.
On the 14th year, the street is again slurry sealed. On the twenty-fist year, the street will be resurfaced. The old street material does not have to be removed before the new layer of hot mix asphalt is laid.
