Report potholes to the city of Somerville

If you see a pothole in Somerville, especially if it's big enough to damage a bicycle or motorcycle wheel, please report it using this form.

Over the past week, I've submitted a flurry of reports for Dover, Orchard, and Day Streets. The city has fixed all but one of them within a couple days after I reported it. So please report to the city any potholes that you see. All of us two-wheeled residents will thank you.

That's really cool that they react so quickly.

Page not found.

There's a fairly sizable pothole on Day St right now, I'm assuming it's the same one you reported. :)

I was just going to report a pothole but I looked if it was still there and it has been filled since I saw it this morning. Nice.

yep, i reported the awful ones on Day St. and Chester St. too. big enough that me in my car felt it necessary to swerve on a narrow street to avoid them.

Ah, thanks for reminding us about this!

I recall reporting a sinkhole in Boston last year that had a 6 inch opening but spread out underground and was at least a couple feet deep. They repaired it quite promptly!

What about a street that has so many filled potholes that it needs to be fully repaved, like the middle of Union Square?
