New Haven (WTNH) - The winter weather has taken its toll on roads in New Haven and other cities and towns in the form of potholes.

The rain and snow, and freezing and thawing cycle can really make a mess of streets. If streets weren't already prime for potholes from the normal wear and tear, construction and maintenance work opens up the road and puts it at risk.

The Town of Ridgefield says on its web site it "usually fixes all known potholes within 24hrs of notice." Ridgefield residents can report potholes by calling the Public Works at 203-431-2748.
New Haven's Pothole Hotline is 203-946-7700. To report a pothole in your town you should contact the local Public Works Department.

There is also a web site for reporting any kind of nuisance issue at seeclickfix.com . The site was created by a team in New Haven, but it allows people anywhere in the U.S. to post issues they see in their community.
