CONYERS, GA– Field crews have restored water services to South Rockdale citizens after a 12” water main break occurred at Hwy 138 and East Fairview Road during the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend.

The Boil Water Advisory, however, will remain in effect until Tuesday, Jan. 19, 6 p.m., county officials said in a news release.
