Henderson Road, from Henderson Mill
Road to LaVista Road (SR 236)
(Briarlake work is also part of
this project.)
In September 2011, homeowners along
Henderson Road received notice of the future project. In
2012-2013, the County advertised for contractor
bids. G.S. Construction was awarded the project. In early
September 2013, STS marked utilities along Henderson Road.

Questions & Answers:
Both DeKalb County Department of
Watershed Management and G.S. Construction have been very responsive and
helpful with answering the following questions from homeowners in the
Henderson Road (west area) where the project started in October 2013.
Usually in a
pre-construction meeting with the county, if this is a requirement it will
be addressed. This was not a requirement of DeKalb County , therefore,
letters to homeowners were not sent. However, please feel free to
continue to forward any questions or concerns.
-
Water interruption – how will the area
be notified, what is the standard outage time, response by County for
emergency water outages, and notification of boil water advisories.
There will be a sign
put out on street notifying residents 48 hrs in advance. 1 day maximum
outage time. The last two questions will have to be answered by DeKalb
County.
Updates:
If there
happens to be an emergency, the county will respond within 20 minutes to
assist with any repairs. If there is a need for boil water, then the
county sends out an alert to all the TV stations and newspapers.
Customers will be notified before any scheduled tie in/shut down is
made. Discoloration (iron deposits) and air will be a issue, flushing on
the customers side and the main will help clear the lines.
