The pothole killer machine can quickly fill the holes with hot patches even during the winter, giving the fillers a lifespan of approximate 44-48 months.

According to Public Works officials, last year’s patches have had a success rate of over 90%.

Only roads within the township’s jurisdiction are being treated by the township-leased machine. State and County roads are covered by their respective jurisdictions.

90% success rate? … 44-48 months? … pfft!
Most of them are a bumpy mess when filled and quite a number of them are already worn down just 12 months or so since being filled last year.

Have you noticed a traffic increase steadily every year..that could have something to do with the increased wear & tear of everything..including the potholes

JBW is 100% right, and, surprise !!, the twsp is 100% wrong. These killers aren’t killers at all. They’re a temporary fix, and I do mean temporary. Some of our roads look like a moonscape. Weld on those hubcaps, ppl !!!
