DeKalb County Watershed Management is investigating a possible water main break at the intersection of North Druid Hills Road and Lawrenceville Highway, one of the busier intersections in the Greater Decatur area.
The break involves a 30-inch main, which is a significant piece of infrastructure. Crews are on site working to contain the break and assess the extent of damage.
A break of this size can affect water pressure and service for surrounding neighborhoods. Residents in the Greater Decatur and Druid Hills areas should be prepared for potential disruptions while repair work is underway.
DeKalb County's aging water infrastructure has been a recurring issue, with the county investing in upgrades across the system. No timeline for the repair has been announced.
