How To Report Potholes In Davenport
The potholes in Davenport right now are terrible. Extremely cold temps, snow, ice, salt, water and many other facts really beat up the roads. Those beat up roads can do serious damage to your and other Quad Citizens vehicles. The city of Davenport is definitely well aware of the potholes scattered throughout the city, but they could use help locating them.
Davenport Public Works gave information via a social media post on Monday directing people to help report potholes throughout the city by using their Pothole Program.
In case you were wondering how pothole develops, according to the Davenport Public Works Pothole Program page, potholes develop over time because the foundation upon where paved surfaces are laid becomes weakened, which mainly happens due erosion from water infiltration below the paved surface. That erosion further weakens with the expansion and contraction that occurs below the surface during freeze/thaw cycles.
