Hall County crews were continuing late Saturday afternoon their work at getting a culvert rebuilt and Falcon Crest Drive reopened more than 24 hours after the existing culvert was washed away by Friday’s torrential rains.
“Residents, please don’t forget that bottled waters are placed near the construction zone,” a posting on social media by the county’s Emergency Management Agency (EMA) says. “If you have a neighbor in need who may not be able to get to the water pickup station, please lend a hand.
Thank you again for your patience, and thank you to our crews who are putting in extra hours in service to the community!”
