On May 19, DeKalb County will begin its Katherine Valley Water Main Replacement Project, aiming to overhaul 5,400 linear feet of outdated pipes. As reported by DeKalb County's news release, this step forms part of a larger $4.27 billion investment into enhancing the county's watershed infrastructure.
The project, expected to run approximately 7 months from May through December 2025, could experience delays if the weather turns sour. Residents should brace for increased noise and foot traffic as construction efforts press on from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, except on major holidays, according to the DeKalb County official announcement.
For those with a vested interest or simply curious, a virtual community meeting will be held on May 15 at 6:30 p.m., where officials will address queries and concerns about the project. Participation can be through Zoom using the provided link, and additional information is available via the DWM Project Information Line or by email at [email protected].
Amid the disruptions, DeKalb County is encouraging its citizens to stay informed about the progress and impact of the water main replacement. As part of its commitment to keep the community in the loop, the county has provided several channels to obtain updates or voice concerns throughout the construction phase.
