Crews are responding to a water main break in Buckhead that flooded parts of Peachtree Road Northeast on Saturday.
Video on social media showed brown water rushing onto Peachtree Road Northeast from Delmont Drive, a couple blocks south of Buckhead Village, Saturday morning.
The northbound lane of Peachtree Road Northeast remains closed until restoration work is finished, which will resume after weather conditions improve, the Department of Watershed Management said in a statement. Repairs to the water main break were completed Saturday night.
“Traffic control measures are in place to guide motorists around the work zone,” the DWM said.
Residents and businesses around the area experienced a temporary disruption of water services on Saturday from 2:30 p.m. until approximately 10 p.m.
“Customers can continue to anticipate delays in full restoration until the system is fully pressurized and may also experience a slight discoloration of water,” the DWM said.
DWM added it will continue to update the community and businesses throughout the repair process.
The water main break occurred just hours before severe thunderstorms hit the region Saturday evening and into Sunday morning.
