Atlanta Water Main Break Sparks State of Emergency and Widespread Disruptions

A major water main break in Atlanta caused significant disruptions, leading to closures of businesses, attractions, and critical facilities. Water service has been partially restored, but a boil water advisory remains in effect. Mayor Andre Dickens declared a state of emergency and apologized for communication delays. Crews are working to repair a second break in Midtown, with no clear timeline for full restoration. Residents are urged to conserve water and check on vulnerable neighbors.
