DeKalb County residents can anticipate an upgrade to their water service as a new infrastructure project kicks off later this month. According to an announcement from DeKalb County's official website, the Salem Road Water Main Replacement Project is slated to begin on Monday, March 17. This initiative involves the installation of 1,350 linear feet of new 12-inch ductile iron pipe, replacing older water lines and aiming to boost overall service capacity.
The project is scheduled to span approximately six weeks, with an anticipated completion in April, weather permitting. Residents should plan for the usual construction hours - that's 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and can expect an uptick in noise and traffic in the vicinity of the construction sites during these times. Officials have stated that major holidays will not be affected by construction activity.
For those who live or travel through the affected areas, street signs and local news outlets will likely provide updates on traffic alterations and any potential service interruptions. The DeKalb County authorities are advising motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution and patience through the duration of the construction work.
If locals have questions or seek additional details about the project, they're encouraged to reach out. Inquiries can be directed to the DWM Project Information Line at 1-800-986-1108. Alternatively, email correspondence can be sent to [email protected]. Both of these channels promise engagement for individuals in need of more information or experiencing concerns related to the water main replacement efforts.
