but conditions are not on their side. “Plus, we will need to permanently repair roads in the spring so we don’t want to spend more than we need to keep your front ends whole.” If you have a pothole on your street that has not been repaired, you are asked to give the operations desk a call at 250-427-9660 or email operations@kimberley. ca Warm weather is forecast to continue for Warm weather has encouraged a prime crop of potholes. at least the next week.
