Crews Working To Fix Potholes In Town Of Islip

ISLIP, NY – Town of Islip officials announced on Tuesday that Department of Public Works crews are addressing potholes throughout the Town.

The Long Island area has been experiencing mild and freezing temperatures, which contribute to the expansion and contraction of asphalt, thereby creating potholes.

“We take pothole repair very seriously in the Town of Islip," Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter said. "Unfortunately, they’re oftentimes responsible for flat tires or even worse, damage to automobiles.”

Residents are advised to call 631-224-5600 to report a pothole on a town road and call New York State 1-800-POTHOLES for others.

Town officials also ask motorists to be cautious and courteous while Town crews work to address the potholes.
