POTHOLES














A note from the mayor regarding potholes:

Potholes: 1.A deep natural underground cavity formed by the erosion of rock. 2. A hole in the road caused by extreme weather or excessive use. 3. Another reason that Winter is way overrated (okay this one's my own thought)

Whichever way you define them, potholes are just another sign that Spring has arrived. As much as we like Spring, we don't like potholes and we're hoping you can help us fix/fill them by reporting trouble spots to Potholes@Salem.com. Make sure to include the exact address/location description, and contact name/number if possible. Photos are welcome too.

Our hardworking Department of Public Works personnel will be monitoring this account and assigning crews to fill in/repair pothole locations as we head into the start of Spring.

For any additional questions, you may contact the Salem DPW directly at (978) 744-3302.

Sincerely,

Mayor Kim Driscoll
