Pothole Hotline (513) 727-3691

Pothole Hotline Open For Business (513) 727-3691

Interim City Manager Steve Husemann demonstrated the newly created Pothole Hotline at Tuesday's City Council meeting. Councilman Jim Armbruster proposed the idea after one of the delivery trucks for his local florist company was damaged by a large pothole. You can call the hotline to report potholes; just leave a detailed message including its location by nearest address, intersection, or landmark. Pothole Hotline: (513) 727-3691   I wonder if the pot holes near Armbruster's place get fixed first? I guess so if he is the first to call it in.

Has anyone tried calling this yet? If so, what sort of response time did you get?

Vice-Mayor Jim Armbruster and Councilman Tony Marconi have both had multiple area residents contact them to ask them what is being done about the potholes that plague Middletown's streets, and what is being done about the hundreds of damage claims that have been filed with the city.

Councilman Marconi feels that the city ought to bare some responsibility to the residents whose vehicles have sustained damages, though Middletown Law Director Les Landen advises that the municipality of Middletown won't be held responsible for damages unless the pothole responsible for damage has been reported and the city did not do something to rectify the situation in a reasonable amount of time.
