With spring hopefully coming soon, the city will have a pothole hotline.

As warmer temperatures arrive, the city is prepping for those pesky potholes to develop. Residents are encouraged to call 641-844-1888 and leave a message with an address or approximate location of problematic potholes. City crews have started to fill them between snow events if the temperatures permit.

But make no mistake, winter is not in the rearview mirror. The city is again asking the public’s cooperation with snow events.

• Keeping vehicles off the streets during plowing operations enables the city to safely and efficiently remove snow and ice.

• When possible, avoid traveling until snow and ice control operations are complete. Less traffic expedites our operations to provide you safer driving conditions.

• Refrain from pushing snow from your property onto or across any street. This removes or covers up the de-icing materials the city applies to the surface.
