Residents of Forest Green Drive near Briarcliff Road can breathe a sigh of relief as DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management crews have wrapped up the repair work on a crucial water main. The six-inch pipe, which suffered damage leading to disrupted service, has now been fixed, as per a recent update from the DeKalb County website.

The completion of the repairs, while a cause for some celebration, comes with a caveat. As the water flows back into the internal plumbing of the homes and businesses in the affected area, the initial water may be brown, a common occurrence after such interruptions. Officials, running the faucets for a short time inside and outside the premises, encourage residents to clear their lines to restore the normal, clear water they are used to.

In a statement obtained by DeKalb County's news release, individuals experiencing problems such as low to no water pressure are advised to reach out to the DeKalb County Watershed Department through their official contact channels. They provide not only an email at [email protected] but also a direct phone line at 770-270-6243 for support.

While the repair signifies the return of a vital resource, clarity could take a little time and the discomfort of malfunctions may linger. The county's prompt response to the damaged water main highlights their commitment to maintaining the community's infrastructure and minimizing inconvenience. Customers, if they persist experiencing issues, their concerns should be promptly addressed by the county's dedicated teams.
