Residents in North Fulton County might need to temporarily adjust their daily commutes as a significant waterline replacement project commenced last Monday. According to the Fulton County Department of Public Works, crews have started to work on installing new ductile iron pipes along Hook Road and Jere Drive in Alpharetta, specifically to replace aging cast iron pipes.
As per the Fulton County website, the Department of Public Works aims to minimize disruptions during the construction, which will involve laying 6-inch and 8-inch ductile iron pipes along Jere Drive and Hook Road, respectively. The officials have scheduled work to primarily stay within the public right-of-way in an effort to not disturb local residents. However, they did not provide a specific timeline for when the work is expected to be complete.
During the infrastructure upgrades, residents may notice crews and equipment along the affected roads and some temporary landscaping changes. The county assures that it will restore any disturbed property to its original condition after the new pipes are installed.
Those living in the affected areas or others seeking additional details on the construction can reach out directly to Simeon Solomero, Senior Construction Project Manager, at 404-612-7418 or Anthony Hughes, Construction Project Manager, at 404-375-2911.
