Efforts to improve the watershed system throughout DeKalb County continue Monday, Oct. 13, with the launch of the Panola Road Water Main Replacement Project. Crews will replace approximately 11,400 linear feet of ductile iron water pipe in two phases:
Phase I: Begins on Salem Rd. and will go east to Big Miller Rd., then north to Panola Road, ending at Minola Dr./Fairington Rd.
Phase II: Begins at the intersection of Snapfinger and Panola Roads and continues northeast on Panola Rd., including Twin Lakes Drive, until it gets to Salem Rd.
Phase I of this water improvement project is expected to last approximately 11 months (Oct. 2025 to Sept. 2026), barring any weather delays. Phase II of this water improvement project is expected to last approximately 10 months (Jan. 2026 to Oct. 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 is expected during work hours.
