City Saves Thousands Using Cold Patches on Paved Streets
Waterloo taxpayers and property owners saved about $1,000 by repairing pavements with cold patches rather than resurfacing. About 3,500 holes, ranging from a foot to a yard square, were patched, smoothing surfaces for winter. City officials say asphalt resurfacing would have cost six figures at no less than $4 per square yard, and patches help avoid potential lawsuits from accidents. Commissioner A Teeter notes the method cost roughly 30 cents per patch, using city teams and regular staff, with Winnipeg inspiring the idea.
