Spray Painting Lines Around Potholes Is A No-No

Well intentioned it may be but the city is asking whomever is spray painting lines around potholes not to do it anymore.

The City's Leah Fitzgerald tells CHSJ News it's the practice to paint lines on the street to indicate where digging should take place and if those lines are in the wrong place, contractors and city workers are put at risk as well as the infrastructure itself.

She warns digging in the wrong place could, as an example, rupture a line and knock out half of the uptown's internet service.

Fitzgerald says if you want to do something about potholes, give Municipal Operations a call at 658-4455 to report where they are and contact them as well if you see any spray painted lines around potholes.
