FROM DEKALB COUNTY:

The March 7, 2018, "boil water advisory" is hereby rescinded following the re-pressurization of the system and repair of the broken water main off Buford Highway. The water system has been restored to full operation and the microbiological quality of the water in the distribution system is safe for human consumption.
