DeKalb County Watershed Management will be repairing a collapsed sewer main in the area of 321 Hillcrest Avenue starting on Monday, November 22, 2010, at approximately 8:30am. Complete road closure is likely which will prohibit vehicular access past the intersection with Springdale Street. Everyone who does not want to risk being blocked in should move their car from the affected construction area to an area on Springdale Street or south of Springdale Street towards Sycamore Drive. DeKalb County will attempt to keep the road open as long as possible. Residents not in the affected area are asked to park in their driveway if available and reserve on street parking for residents who are unable to drive past the construction work. A reserve Decatur Fire Engine will be staged in the area for the duration of the work in case emergency services are needed.
DeKalb County Watershed Management can be contacted at 770-621-7230 or 770-270-6243 and staff will be onsite on Monday.
Anyone with special needs is asked to call David Junger at the Decatur Public Works Department at 404-377-5571.
Parking restrictions will begin on Monday, November 22, 2010 at approximately 8:30am. Repair work will be completed as quickly as possible to minimize disruption to property access as well as prevent any further backup of sewage into homes. The repair may take up to three days to complete.
