The warm spell that has arrived in North Battleford this week is starting to do a number on the city’s roads.
The melt is creating a lot of puddles around the city, but it is also creating a lot of potholes and city officials are worried.
At council Monday the acting Director of Infrastructure and Maintenance, Stewart Schafer, urged motorists in the city to beware of potholes and puddles. He especially warned of the issues associated with water puddles that are hiding potholes inside of them.
“Please, please, do not drive through the puddles fast,” said Schafer. “You may find a nasty pothole inside one, and it could damage your vehicle.”
Driving through puddles also could splash other pedestrians and private property, he noted. Schafer is asking people to act responsibly.
