Officials say residents in Atlanta no longer must boil water before drinking it. The advisory was lifted on Thursday, six days after an initial water main break west of downtown began causing problems for the city’s water system. While the first rupture was repaired on Saturday, a second leak that began later Friday wasn’t fixed until Tuesday.
Workers continued to install pipes to replace a ruptured water main in Atlanta on Tuesday, Day 5 of persistent water problems in parts of the city. Mayor Andre Dickens says Atlanta is “making progress” in repairing the flow in the city’s Midtown area. Water trickles out of a hose attached to a device that shuts off flow to a water main on Monday, June 3, 2024, in Atlanta.
The boil-water advisory never covered the whole city, and it was lifted for most affected areas on Monday. But it remained in place for downtown and Midtown Atlanta as well as some neighborhoods to the east.
