Crews in DeKalb County are working to repair a broken water main that has left many residents and businesses along Covington Highway without water service this morning.

What’s Happening: The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management says a six-inch water line broke earlier today. As a result, people in the area are experiencing little to no water pressure.

Why It Matters: Local officials are urging drivers to avoid the area due to expected traffic delays caused by repair work. Businesses and homeowners are being asked to monitor their water usage and report any ongoing issues to authorities.

What’s Next: Repair crews remain on-site and updates will be provided as work progresses. Anyone still facing low or no water pressure can contact the DeKalb County Watershed Department for assistance at 770-270-6243 or email dekalbwaterops@dekalbcountyga.gov.
