We all try to avoid damage to our cars by maneuvering around potholes, but there’s one more thing you should do if you come across these depressions in the road: Make a report.
Here’s how:
- Complete an online form with your basic info and location of the pothole. You can even upload photos if you have them.
- Send a tweet to @LouMetro311 with the pothole’s whereabouts and the hashtag #502pothole.
- Call Metro311 or 574-5000 to make a report over the phone.
According to AAA, one in 10 drivers sustain vehicle damage that’s significant enough to warrant a repair after hitting a pothole — and that comes with an average cost of $600.
