A water main break in Dunwoody caused considerable disruption on Chamblee Dunwoody Road over the weekend. The break, which occurred overnight at Harris Circle, prompted DeKalb Watershed Management to respond promptly, as confirmed by City of Dunwoody announcements. The damage led to closures on the major thoroughfare, with preliminary estimates indicating several hours needed for repairs, leaving local residents without running water.
As repairs got underway, DeKalb Watershed Management cut off water supply for the necessary work to be carried out, impacting less than 75 customers as reported by representatives. With Chamblee Dunwoody Road initially closed between Roberts Drive and Spalding Drive, and Dunwoody Road at Spalding Drive, the situation required the attention of multiple city departments, including Dunwoody Public Works and the local police, to manage minor flooding and ensure public safety.
Through the day, progress was evident with water service being restored by mid-afternoon, according to the same City of Dunwoody update. The road remained closed as crews continued backfilling and cleanup efforts. At Harris Circle, the site of the 6-inch main break, diligent work held the promise of normalcy, signaling an imminent return to everyday life for Dunwoody's residents and commuters.
