2. Enter a street address as the location of the problem or click on the blue text that says, “Click on a map location,” then click on the desired area.

3. Enter a description of the issue. Please indicate if the issue is likely a short-term problem, like repair work on small areas or a broken water main, or a long-term issue, like potholes, extensive repairs or obscured side streets leading to main roads.

The process is relatively quick and easy. Placing the first marker on the map, noting a spot of cracked, uneven pavement on Suffield Street, took this writer about two minutes from start to finish.
