Efforts to improve the watershed system throughout DeKalb County continue Wednesday, May 13, with the launch of the Orion Drive Sewer Improvement Project. Crews will install CIPP (Cured in Place Pipe) to rehabilitate 1,300 linear feet of aging sewer lines. The repair project is expected to last three months, barring any weather delays. 

This project is part of DeKalb County’s $4.27 billion capital improvement program to improve capacity and service of the watershed systems serving the community. 

Normal construction hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected. Insituform, working on behalf of DeKalb County, is the authorized contractor. All workers will be wearing proper identification and driving marked vehicles. 

To learn more about the Orion Drive Sewer Improvement Project, call the DWM Project Information Line at 1-800-986-1108 or email projectinfo@dekalbcountyga.gov with questions.
