DECATUR, Ga. — The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management is conducting emergency repairs on a damaged sanitary sewer line.
The crews will be making the repairs near 2382 Hunting Valley Drive in Decatur through Friday.
The county says Atlanta Gas Light contractors inadvertently damaged the sewer line, which required immediate repairs.
Although water service remains uninterrupted for residents, the affected section of Hunting Valley Drive is closed to through traffic.
The repair work impacts 5–10 homes in the Druid Hills area, but residents can still access their homes and driveways during the project.
A detour route with clear signage directs drivers to alternate routes.
