The city's public works department posted on Twitter that it proactively filled more than 8,700 potholes, adding that "repairing Houston roads is a big job, but we're up for a challenge."
Three years ago, the city took aim at potholes with a dedicated crew.
The city says it has the capability to fill 300 potholes a day, but records obtained by ABC13 back in February showed that averaged around 100 per day.
For May, it averaged to a little more than 280 potholes a day.
