The repair of a 30-inch water main in northwest Atlanta will take longer than initially expected.

Officials said the extension is due to the need of a specialty pipe that must be produced by a manufacturer.

“Repairs will resume once the parts are received,” according to a press release. “As a safety precaution, traffic control devices will remain in place to guide motorists around the work zone.”
