On Saturday, December 11, 2010, a water main break occurred at the intersection of E. College Avenue and E. Trinity Place. Due to this break, various areas throughout the City of Decatur are experiencing either very low water pressure or a complete disruption of service. DeKalb County is currently working to repair the break and restore water service to all affected locations. We are anticipating all water services will be restored within the next 12 hours.
In addition, the railroad crossing located at E. College Avenue and E. Trinity Place is closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic until all repairs have been completed. These repairs will take a minimum of 5 days to complete. A detour route has been established around the break and will remain in effect until all repairs have been completed.
There has NOT been a boil water alert issued by either the DeKalb County Board of Health nor the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management at this time.
For further information, you may call the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management at 770-621-7200. Periodic updates will be provided through the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management and at the City of Decatur website at www.decaturga.com
