Residents in DeKalb County's Clairmont Road area are advised to continue boiling their water as crews work around the clock to repair a significant water main break. According to information from the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management, the 30-inch water main at 3661 Clairmont Road is still under repair, and the boil water advisory remains in effect until further notice.

Maintaining access to potable water is a priority, hence, bottled water is being provided at several local distribution centers including Fire Stations 1, 3, 7, 9, and 20 as well as the RaceTrac at 3630 Clairmont Rd. Commuters should expect delays and consider alternative routes as a detour is in effect to accommodate the ongoing work. The DeKalb County Government has made a WebMap available for those seeking to view the affected advisory area.

In addition to the water main fix on Clairmont Road, county crews are also engaged in a separate project at the intersection of North Druid Hills and Spring Creek Road. They are connecting a water main in coordination with Georgia Power; this procedure, however, is not causing any interruption in water service, unlike the situation being addressed on Clairmont Road.

DeKalb County residents in need of support or information concerning their water service can reach out to the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management through email at [email protected] or by calling 770-270-6243. The county has extended its apologies for the inconvenience caused and ensures continued updates through their official communication channels, as they pledge to diligently restore full water service as promptly as possible.
