Gwinnett to make repairs to leaking water main

Gwinnett County has alerted residents and business owners that water pressure for some homes and businesses in the northern part of the county may drop Wednesday because of repairs to a leaking 48-inch water main.

The large pipe runs under Sawnee Avenue between Buford Highway and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Buford. A leak developed Tuesday, just north of Buford High School.

Repair work will begin at 5 a.m. Wednesday unless the leak gets worse overnight.
