He said town crews are responding to residential complaints, as well as going out and fixing the potholes before there are complaints. While the Town of Drumheller is responsible for many of the roads, the major highways through town fall under provincial jurisdiction. He said Ledcor is also being responsive in fixing the road as the potholes develop.
Fixing potholes does come with some expense. While it would be preferable to patch the holes with hot asphalt, there are not many plants operating this time of year, and they have to bring a cold mixture. Because often the cold mixture is produced in the fall, sometimes the quality can deteriorate. The town is purchasing orders of cold mix from the Edmonton area. This expense is on top of the labour component.
If drivers want to report a particularly bad pothole they can call the Town of Drumheller at 403-823-6300 or 403-823-1330 to let the town know.
