DeKalb County reports water main is fixed

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — DeKalb County reports they have completed repairs a water main break that affected water service for residents since Thursday.

County officials say regular water service should be restored to residents by Sunday afternoon.

The water main seemed fixed overnight broke again Saturday and threatened to disrupt the entire county’s water supply.

The county government declared just before 3 p.m. that all residents in the county of 700,000-plus people should boil their tapwater. And some were expected to go without water again starting as early as 10 p.m. Saturday night, when crews were to attempt another repair.

Dekalb County says the boil water advisory is still in effect until further notice.
