Fulton County crews repaired a water main that broke Wednesday and affected several neighborhoods during early morning hours along Providence Road between Freemanville and Bethany Roads, a Fulton County Jessica Corbitt said.

The break was located in the neighborhood of Summit Hill Elementary but the school wasn’t impacted, Milton Communications Director Greg Botelho said. However, three to four subdivisions were without water service for hours, he said.
