DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management crews have completed repairs to a broken water main on Clairmont Terrace near Clairmont Road.  A contractor replacing and repairing fire hydrants in this area caused a break to a service line. As service is restored, customers in the affected area may experience brown water and are encouraged to run the faucets inside and outside their homes/businesses to clear the internal plumbing.
