Mayfield Road Water Main Break Fixed Quickly

The problem only affected approximately 50 customers, and was handled within an hour.

Fulton County crews fixed a water main break in less than an hour this afternoon, avoiding any traffic mess that could have resulted. The break was reported to the public just before 4 p.m., and Fulton County spokesman Bob Giordano said it was fixed in a hurry.

Crews were already on site when the county notified the public of the break. So if you got back home and found a bit of muddy looking water coming through your pipes for a little bit, now you know why.
