WILKES-BARRE — City officials have launched a hotline for motorists to report potholes, but a statement issued Monday contained an incorrect number.

Callers are asked to dial 570-208-4237, or the main DPW line at 208-4240 and provide the nearest street address or intersection of the pothole. Several dedicated DPW crews, known as the “Pothole Patrol,” have been designated to address the holes, officials said.
