On Monday, Aug. 9, DeKalb County and its contractors will repair a leaking 16-inch water line on Peachcrest Road, between Maplehurst Drive and Columbia Drive. Work is expected to last approximately four hours, unless unforeseen circumstances arise that may impact this schedule.

Today, July 31, DeKalb County, in partnership with the DeKalb County Board of Health and Medcura Health, administered more than 230 COVID-19 vaccinations and tested more than 50 adults and children. “This event has been a huge success by any measure,” said DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. “We are committed to eradicating this disease and fighting to keep DeKalb County residents safe.”

DeKalb County Superior Court Chief Judge Asha Jackson signed an emergency judicial order on Friday, July 30, 2021, creating a countywide eviction moratorium for 60 days following the expiration of the CDC moratorium. “This emergency order is a Godsend,” CEO Thurmond said. “Without this local extension to the CDC moratorium, thousands of DeKalb residents faced the stark reality of having their belongings set out on the street in the midst of surging COVID-19 infection rates.”

On Thursday, Aug. 5, DeKalb County and its contractors will repair a leaking 16-inch water line on Peachcrest Road, between Maplehurst Drive and Columbia Drive. Work is expected to last approximately four hours, unless unforeseen circumstances arise that may impact this schedule.
