- Description:
- Description on verso: "City Crews Repair Roswell Road Cave In. City maintenance crews were hard at work early Thursday filling in and repaving a portion of Roswell Road which collapsed after an underground water main burst. A 16-inch main burst at about 11 p.m. Wednesday on Roswell Road between West Wieuca and Wieuca roads, cutting off water for two apartment complexes and some 20 businesses. Water was restored along Roswell Road around 9 a.m. Thursday, Atlanta Water Bureau Superintendent J.D. Vaughn said, and city workmen were repairing the street Thursday afternoon. Vaughn said the main apparently broke because of metal fatigue. Another break, which involved a 30-inch main, occurred about 10 p.m. Wednesday on Butner Road near camp creek Parkway, according to Vaughn. He said water was cut off to about 25 houses until 2 a.m. Thursday."
