Atlanta Gas Light will be working in the area this year and next as part of a 15-year project to replace parts of its natural gas pipeline.
Atlanta Gas Light is installing a new pipeline in DeKalb County that will cut through the North Druid Hills area – work that has already begun in the Medlock area.
