  1. Asphalt Patching

Patching streets and alleys is a temporary repair to areas until resurfacing or reconstruction is scheduled. The Public Works Department uses "hot mix" asphalt from local plants during warmer months. During colder months, the department uses "cold patch" material due to asphalt plants being closed for the winter. Patching crews check main thoroughfares, residential streets, and alleys regularly. You will see crews out during warmer months using our Dura-Patcher for road and alley patching.
