Esther Basnet is unhappy over the aftermath of a water main break.
“More than two weeks ago there was a main water break in front of our house at 5157 Antelope Lane (next to the street) and as a result water gushed out for several hours until the watershed crew came and fixed it,” she wrote.
Basnet said the problem now is the aftermath of this issue and we are now left with a destroyed lawn and dug out mud all over the street and the lawn.
“Despite emails and phone calls, the watershed management office has not sent anyone to deal with this mess. All I want is to get back my lawn as it was. Perhaps the repair team needed to run their tractor on our lawn to fix the problem, but the lawn is totally destroyed and we are left with an awful landscape,” she added.
We sent the item to DeKalb County to see if there is a remedy to the problem.

Gary Marx says something needs to be done about the intersection of West Marietta Street and Marietta Boulevard, going south on Marietta Boulevard.
“Because the right lane is able to turn left, and the left lane says left only, the backup at rush hour is horrible. Many people go straight in the left lane illegally anyway. The light is also green too long for West Marietta Street,” he wrote.
We sent his concerns to the city.

Carol Gee would like to see a lot of potholes fixed.
“As you enter the Stoneview Subdivision off of Rays Road and Memorial Drive in Dekalb County, there are a number of potholes on Maxey Hill Drive which is the street you enter when coming into the community, These potholes continue to Monmouth Drive the first street at the corner of Maxey Hill Drive,” she wrote.
She said she contacted Dekalb County about these potholes.
“When they came out, they only filled two potholes right at the entrance. Meanwhile the one at the corner of Maxey Hill Drive and Monmouth Drive is getting worse. With residents of over 295 homes in this community running over it, before long, it could possibly turn into a small sinkhole.”
We sent the item to DeKalb County.
