DeKalb Watershed Management sampled 20 water sites on July 24 and water 40 sites on July 25, which all showed negative for bacteria. Fifty water sites were sampled on July 26, and those results are expected later Monday.
On Sunday, crews fixed the 48 inch transmission line that broke. Channel 2 Action News got plenty of tweets, Facebook messages and calls from residents, complaining of low or no pressure even after it was fixed.
The break started on Thursday, after a county worker ran into a fire hydrant.
