A boil water advisory continues to be in place for one area in DeKalb County on Thursday after a major water main break earlier this week.

The DeKalb Watershed Management announced Thursday evening that it has completed repairs to the water main, but it is advising that residents run their faucets inside and outside buildings to clear plumbing.
