Peachtree Industrial Water Transmission Main Replacement Project Begins July 7

Crews will replace aged infrastructure 

Efforts to improve water service capacity throughout DeKalb County will begin on July 7, 2025, with the launch of the Peachtree Industrial Water Transmission Main Replacement Project. This waterline replacement project is expected to be completed in January 2028.

Crews will replace approximately 11,000 linear feet of an existing 30-inch carbon steel main with a 36-inch Ductile Iron main. Crews will also remove the 8-inch and 6-inch pipes running alongside the 30-inch and replace them with 12-inch pipe. Work will begin on Malone Drive, the southern end of the project. Crews will then move to the northbound lane of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and continue north until completion at Carver Drive.

The project is separated into three phases:

• Phase I: Malone Drive (Peachtree Road to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard) and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (Malone Drive to Miller Drive)
• Phase II: Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (Miller Drive to Longview Drive)
• Phase III: Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (Longview Drive) through Carver Drive

This project is part of the DeKalb County $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 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected.
