They always want you to provide an address using the online form; sometimes this can be a challenge. If possible, take a picture that shows the location and the depth of the pot hole. You can upload this easily using the online form. You have the option to provide your name, email and phone number, or just remain anonymous. Call 311 or 305-468-5900.
