DeKalb County, GA — This Thursday, DeKalb County will begin a six-month-long sewer rehabilitation at Delano Line Park near East Lake.

“Efforts to improve the watershed system throughout DeKalb County continue Thursday, May 11, with the Delano Line Park Sewer Line Rehabilitation Project. Crews will replace and realign approximately 1,990 linear feet of 12-inch-diameter and 120 linear feet of 8-inch-diameter gravity sewer pipe and rehabilitate 12 manholes,” a press release from the county says. “The repair project is expected to last six months (May to October 2023), barring any weather delays.”

Here’s more information about the project from DeKalb County:

Normal construction hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected. KEMI Construction, working on behalf of DeKalb County, is the authorized contractor. All workers will be wearing proper identification and driving marked vehicles.

Residents can expect an increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours. Property owners will be notified 48 to 72 hours prior to the start of impactful construction activities. Construction crews will work diligently to minimize the length of impact to residents.
