Pothole season has begun.
They can mess up anyones commute. At the worst, potholes can cause damage to your tires and suspension and they can cause an accident. Even if they just make you spill your coffee on the way to work, potholes can provide more headaches than desired.
The Town of Hempstead has said that during the winter months, the Highway Department will fill the potholes with a temporary cold patch, until permanent repairs can be made the following spring.

Potholes can be reported directly to the Highway Department at (516) 489-5000 or e-mailed to pothole@tohmail.org. Residents should provide the exact street address and the nearest cross street.
If the pothole is located on a county road, it can be reported to the Nassau County Department of Public Works. To do so, either call (516) 571-6900 or send a specific location to pothole_emergencies@nassaucountyny.gov.
