DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management (DWM) crews and contractors will work throughout the night to repair a 42-inch-diameter water main on McLendon Drive.

Crews have assembled a trench box to keep workers safe in the area to be excavated for the repair.

Traffic control specialists are directing traffic near the repair site where a lane is closed.

DWM distributed bottled water to affected homes in the area earlier today.

DeKalb County will continue to provide updates during the repair.
