As a result of a cold winter and wet conditions, streets may quickly develop a series of potholes. Patching of potholes is most effective if done as soon as possible. However, winter\u00a0patches are\u00a0temporary and must be permanently\u00a0repaired\u00a0during warmer weather.<\/p>\n<p>The process of repairing the potholes is labor intensive and the hot mix asphalt is only good for one day at a time, so coordination and planning of the locations which need repair must be done in advance.<\/p>\n<p>You can help by reporting the location of newly developed potholes to the City Public Works Department. City staff will document and inventory these potholes to determine the extent of repairs necessary.\u00a0The City of Yakima&#8217;s goal is to repair potholes within one working day\u00a0of notification but weather and resources may delay the work.
