From DeKalb County:
DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management crews have completed repairs on a 48-inch main transmission line at Henderson Mill and Evans Road.
Although water pressure in the water system is returning to normal conditions, a boil water advisory remains in effect for all DeKalb County water customers until further notice. In an abundance of caution for our citizens and to protect the public from any potential health hazards, citizens are advised to boil all water prior to use for drinking, cooking or preparing baby food. The water should be boiled for at least one minute after reaching a rolling boil. Residents served by the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management should continue to boil water until notified by DeKalb County after testing, the microbiological quality of the water is safe for human use. When the test results are available, DeKalb County, in conjunction with the EPD, will provide an update to the boil water status.

A DeKalb County water main that seemed fixed overnight broke again Saturday and threatened to disrupt the entire county’s water supply.
The county government declared just before 3 p.m. that all residents in the county of 700,000-plus people should boil their tapwater. And some were expected to go without water again starting as early as 10 p.m. Saturday night, when crews were to attempt another repair.
DeKalb County spokesman Burke Brennan said the lowest pressure reduction would occur around midnight.
