Is there a particular pothole on your daily commute that you’d like to see repaired? The Owensboro Street Department’s fall “war on potholes” runs from November 3-14, and they’re asking for help identifying problem areas.

During these two weeks, the public is asked to phone City Action at 270-687-4444, email [email protected], or make a report online at Owensboro.org/cityaction to report the location of all potholes. Be as specific as possible on locations, referring to a street address or intersection.

City crews will patch potholes from November 17-28. The City of Owensboro will report the location of potholes on state or county streets to the proper officials. 

Each fall, the City declares a “war on potholes” in preparation for cold weather and the difficulty in obtaining hot asphalt mix for pothole repair work.

“Our goal is to have every pothole in the city identified and patched as quickly as possible,” a release from the City says.
