Dozens Of Trees Down In DeKalb, Officials Warn: Hurricane Zeta

DEKALB COUNTY, GA — Some DeKalb County water customers may experience temporary water pressure decreases due to power fluctuations and outages at county pump stations, according to the county Thursday morning.

Strong winds from Tropical Storm Zeta have knocked down dozens of trees around the county, and more trees are expected to fall throughout the day. Many of these trees damage power lines causing temporary outages until generators at pump stations kick on.

Any customer experiencing brown water should run their faucets until the water is clear. Customers experiencing issues should contact 770-270-6243.

Zeta is expected to continue to weaken as the center moves rapidly northeast across north Georgia Thursday morning. Maximum sustained winds are expected to be in the 20 mph range with gusts as high as 50 to 60 mph. Bands of rain bands will continue to fall in the Atlanta area; 1 to 2 inches are expected in north Georgia, with higher amounts possible in far northeast Georgia.
