Report Road Issues Contacts

 

 

Washington County Commissioners and the three county road supervisors have received a lot of
comment and input on county road issues this winter, as we should. There have been many phone calls
and messages relayed to the road supervisors. With all this in mind, we have an idea to simplify or
streamline some of this communication. Our county IT department has added three dedicated email
addresses for county residents to report issues; and the real easy part is you can text your road report
directly from your cell phone to the email.


It's just this easy. Take a photo of the road issue and send it with the road location (on County Road ??,
about ¼ mile east of County Road ??). Add a brief description of the road damage/issue if the photo
does not totally capture the necessary information. If you have a suggestion of how to remedy a specific
issue, please add that, too.


The road supervisors will be able to evaluate and prioritize the issues; and then schedule the necessary
repairs and materials in their work flow.


Text to Report Road Issues to their respective Road Districts:


Road1@co.washington.co.us


Road2@co.washington.co.us


Road3@co.washington.co.us


For any road emergency issues, please continue to call the road supervisors directly or the Washington
County Commissioner Office at 970-345-2701


Road District 1: Byron Rogers 970-466-0137


Road District 2: Dylan Smith 970-554-1039


Road District 3: Steve Williams 970-554-0680
