Peachtree City water main break leaves customers with little to no service for hours

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. - Peachtree City was the latest to be hit by a water main break.

The break happened Friday morning on Peachtree Parkway at McIntosh Trail. A number of homes and businesses in the area were affected. 

The City of Peachtree City said that Fayette County Water had been notified and was responding and Peachtree City Public Works was mobilizing a crew to provide traffic control.

A couple of hours later, they updated their Facebook post, saying that the water main had been fixed, but there was still some work to be done around the site, including removing mud and debris.

SkyFOX 5 flew over the area at around 1 p.m. and observed several workers still working on the water system.

On Thursday, a water main break in the Buckhead area disrupted service to several apartment complexes and disrupted traffic for hours.
