The county’s response to the Medlock Park incident was far quicker than its response to an incident that occurred on July 23 at Henderson Mill and Evans roads. Many residents in Decatur, Avondale Estates, Tucker and Stone Mountain had drastically low or no pressure for three days and a boil water advisory was put into effect.
