We just received our Code Red Alert on this.
According to the nameless female voice in the recorded message, a water main break occurred today at the intersection of East College Avenue and East Trinity Place in Decatur.
Some residents have reported low water pressure or complete disruption of service as a result of the break. DeKalb County is working to restore water service in the next 12 hours.
However – and here’s the kicker – that intersection will remain closed for AT LEAST the next 5 days as repairs are made. According to the message, a detour route has been established, but man is that gonna create a mess for traffic in that area over the next week.
There is no “boil water” alert at this time.
It’s the Diner’s fault.
…and people didn’t believe me when I said the Diner was a front for drug tunnel.
No doubt its the Diner’s fault.
These things happen and while an inconvenience
this is also part of life.
Deal with it!
Sunday, 8am report – water bubbling up between rails at East Trinity crossing, draining across East Howard west of DQ. This might be an icy mess by morning!
This gives a new meaning to the DQ Blizzard.
The “nameless voice” is that of DPD Captain Boyett.
What’s that I hear? A lonesome train whistle blowing? Hope everybody got the message!
eeeeek…that’s what I thought when I heard the train this morning!
