Neighborhood Road Pavement FAQs

Your local road department is using a field-proven Maltene-based asphalt rejuvenator called Reclamite® to help neighborhood roads last longer and stay in top condition. This proactive approach is an economical use of tax dollars that extends the life of the pavement, saving significantly more than waiting for a road to fail.

ℹ️ What to Expect & Points to Remember

The process is designed to be fast and low impact, with most streets completed in a single day.

  • Access: You will have access to your driveway and street at all times.
  • Parking: To avoid being towed, please remove all vehicles from the street between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
  • Application: After the street is swept, the rejuvenator is spray-applied. It typically soaks into the asphalt in about 20–30 minutes.  A thin layer of aggregate (a sand-like material) is applied to absorb excess material. This aggregate is swept up the following day.
  • Traffic: Please observe all signs and flagger directions including driving no faster than 5 MPH, from the time the road is treated until the aggregate cover has been removed (within 2 days).

✅Resident Checklist

  • Turn Off Sprinklers the day before and the day of treatment; the pavement must be dry.
  • For Special Events, moving, garage sales, furniture/appliance deliveries, etc., call 1-800-333-6309 for assistance.
  • Garbage, Mail Service & Recycling will continue as scheduled.
  • Rain Delays will move work to the following day, or you will receive a new door notice.
  • Safe for Pets/Children? While the product is safe for people and pets once applied, we recommend keeping them off treated areas for a few days to avoid tracking material into your home.

🚗 Vehicle and Property Care

The maintenance seal is a non-toxic, all-natural, American-sourced product.

  • Is it safe for my car? Yes, it is not harmful to vehicle paint and does not permanently bond to finishes.
  • How do I remove it? Any residue can be easily removed with standard car soap, water, and a soft cloth.

💡Why This is the “Right Choice” for Our Roads

  • Prevents Aging: Oxidation begins on day one. Rejuvenation replaces the light oils that allow the pavement to remain pliable and resist cracking.
  • Taxpayer Savings: For every $1 spent at the top of the curve (when the road looks good), it saves $6 to $10 or more in future repairs.
  • Efficient Coverage: For the cost of resurfacing just one mile of failed road, we can treat 19 miles of existing roadway, adding roughly 5 years of life to each.
