City of San Antonio Public Works Press Release — Join the Public Works Department and San Antonio Pothole Patrol to kick off the 8th Annual Pothole Patrol Blitz! Residents are asked to help Public Works locate and fix more than 10,000 potholes in April.
Call 3-1-1 to report potholes through the 311SA app on smart phones. The first 100 residents will receive a Pothole Patrol Fiesta Medal.
The San Antonio Pothole Patrol is managed by the Public Works Streets Division.
Residents made more than 4,600 calls to the City’s 311 hotline to report potholes in 2023, roughly 5 percent of the total potholes Public Works repaired.
Fourteen Pothole Patrol crews fixed approximately 333 potholes each day.
Each pothole takes roughly 20 minutes to repair and costs about $35.
San Antonio’s extremely hot weather, followed by bouts of rain, causes the expansion and contraction of asphalt and creates the perfect conditions for water to seep into the asphalt and create potholes.
