DeKalb County is replacing two aging water mains with one new 16-inch diameter main along Mount Vernon Road between Ashford Dunwoody Road and Vernon Oaks Drive. The improvements by the county are necessary and critical for the maintenance of Dunwoody’s water system. Work along Mount Vernon Road progresses and completion of the water main pipe work between Vernon Oaks Drive and Wickford Way should be done by June 24, weather permitting. Crews will lay sidewalk in the completed area (from Vernon Oaks up to Mount Vernon Way) and should finished by mid July. The proposed sidewalk from Mount Vernon Way up to Ashford Dunwoody will be constructed following all of the remaining water main pipe work in this area. All work along Mount Vernon Road, between Ashford Dunwoody Road and Vernon Oaks Drive, is expected to be complete by the end of 2015.
