A runner crosses the water-soaked intersection of Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Dunwoody Knoll Drive, where a large water main break shut down the road Monday morning.

A large water main break that shut down an intersection in Dunwoody was fixed Monday evening.

Dunwoody police reported the break Monday morning along Chamblee Dunwoody Road between St. Andrews Circle and Dunwoody Walk. The break affected about 40 homes in the area, according to DeKalb Watershed Management.

Jim Dymek, a man who lives along Chamblee Dunwoody, said the break was directly in front of his house. He said it has happened several times before.

“This is something that the county has fixed probably four or five times in the last three or four years,” he said. “You know, as a taxpayer, you kind of just think that maybe they’d get it right.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reached out to DeKalb Watershed for more information about the cause of the break.
