DeKalb Watershed to perform maintenance on water main near Katie Kerr Drive

On Monday, Aug. 9, DeKalb County and its contractors will repair a leaking water line on Peachcrest Road, between Maplehurst Drive and Columbia Drive. Work is expected to last approximately four hours, unless unforeseen circumstances arise that may impact this schedule, according to a press release.

Residents and businesses should expect a water outage between 3 and 8 p.m. while the line is replaced.

This work is being performed as a part of the annual water and sewer construction administered by the DeKalb County Office of Engineering & Construction Management Services. Under the program, water mains throughout the county are being replaced with new pipelines to repair damaged lines, improve water pressure, quality and reliability of water service.
