DeKalb County, GA — The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management responded to a water main break in the 4500 block of Glenwood Road on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

“DWM crews are on the scene directing traffic. Please avoid the area, if possible, by using Covington Highway,” the alert from the county says. “DeKalb County will provide updates about the progress of the repairs. For more information, contact the DeKalb County Watershed Department at 770-270-6243.”

Decaturish media partner Atlanta News First reports that the break has disrupted water services to nearby residents and businesses.

According to ANF, county officials say the areas affected include:

– 4530 GLENWOOD ROAD

– AUSTIN DR, W AUSTIN RD, DANRICH DR, MOSERI RD.

The break forced several nearby businesses to close their doors early.

“We are a laundromat, so we need water to be in business,” said Cedric Kennedy, owner of Glenwood Coin Landry, told ANF.

As of late afternoon Tuesday, there was no timeline on how long the repairs would take, ANF reported.
