Residents of DeKalb County can expect to see the streets along Clifton Church Road, Gresham Road, and Richard Allen Lane churn with construction activity following the commencement of the Clifton Church Water Main Replacement Project, as reported on DeKalb County's official announcement. Kicked off this past Monday, this infrastructure overhaul aims to replace aging water pipes with around 10,900 linear feet of new ductile iron pipe, with the objective to strengthen water supply reliability for the community.
As part of DeKalb County's massive $4.27 billion capital improvement initiative, this particular project is a single puzzle piece in a much larger mosaic designed to enhance the county's watershed systems, per their detailed strategy. Scheduled to run through July 2026 the project will span an estimated nine months, weather permitting, that could see schedules twist and turn with the fickleness of Mother Nature’s moods, yet striving to improve capacity and service for the residents relying on these essential amenities.
For those eagerly charting the daily tempo, construction is ordained to occupy hours from the early onset of 7 a.m. until the curtain of evening descends at 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, with the stage vacant on major holidays.
Community engagement is not only welcomed, but actively sought; residents curious about the project's specifics or seeking to voice their input had the opportunity to attend a virtual community meeting last Tuesday according to the details shared on the county's official webpage. Those lingering questions that may still whisper in the minds of the populace can be addressed by calling the DWM Project Information Line at 1-800-986-1108 or by sending inquiries via email to [email protected], ensuring that every voice may find an avenue to be heard.
