Pothole conditions
Potholes can develop when temperatures begin to hover around zero degrees.
Along with the Region of Waterloo, we maintain roads in Kitchener to the Province’s Minimum Maintenance Standards, Ontario Reg. 239/02.
This standard tells us how big a pothole can be before we need to repair it. It also sets out the amount of time that can pass before we must complete the repair. This time depends on the amount of traffic that usually travels on the specific road. The standard ranges from four days for roads with heavy traffic to 30 days for roads with lower traffic.
If you see a pothole, please report it online or call 519-741-2345 so that we can repair it.
