West College Avenue Water Main Replacement Project Begins Feb. 2

Construction to install new water main pipes

Efforts to improve the watershed system throughout DeKalb County continue Monday, Feb. 2, with the launch of the West College Avenue Water Main Replacement Project. Crews will replace approximately 11,300 linear feet of ductile iron water pipe between South Candler Street and Emeril Drive.

This water improvement project is expected to last approximately 10 months (February 2026 to December 2026), barring any weather delays.

This project is part of DeKalb County’s $4.27 billion capital improvement program to improve capacity and service of the watershed systems serving the community.

Normal construction hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected.
