Students return to Dunwoody High School after water main break
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - All students and staff are back at Dunwoody High School after crews dealt with a major water main break nearby.
Officials say Dunwoody High School experienced a water outage on Wednesday morning.
FOX 5 cameras saw crews working on the break, which happened on the 4700 block of Vermack Road.
In order to keep students and staff secure and comfortable, the county moved everyone to Chamblee High School on Chamblee Dunwoody Road while repairs continue.
The district used school buses to transport the students after securing the building.
While the high school's current enrollment is around 2000 students, officials did not share specific numbers of how many were transported on Wednesday.
After DeKalb County Department of Water Management crews fixed the broken 12-inch-diameter water main, pressure was restored and service resumed.
The students were returned to the campus by 1:15 p.m. with the expectation of dismissal at the school's regular time.
All after-school activities other than girls basketball and wrestling are expected to continue. Cross country will take place off-site at Brook Run Park and boys basketball will take place at All Saints Church.
