SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — A broken water main in Sandy Springs has been repaired, but cleanup and repairs are still needed.
Crews worked late into the night on Monday to fix the pipe on Peachtree Dunwoody Road just south of Windsor Parkway after it sent water gushing onto the road and nearly washed away the only entrance to the Starlight Hills subdivision.
Neighbors said they reported the break and water outage late Sunday night, but no one responded until 1 a.m. Monday. By then, the road into the neighborhood was mostly washed away.
"We saw it crumbling and it was just water gushing out, and nothing was being done to it yet," neighbor Margaret Jones said.
Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management admits the response was late, but did not give a reason why.
Work to repair the road will continue Tuesday morning.
