Wiggins says once the break has been repaired, they will slowly pressurize the water system to make sure no other problems arise.

There is currently no timeline for when water service will be fully restored.

The City of Atlanta suffered at least four water main breaks on Friday, two of which have been described as “major,” by Watershed officials.

The other major break occurred Friday night at W. Peachtree St. and 11th St. in midtown Atlanta.

Wiggins says that break was not related to the break at Joseph E. Boone Blvd. and James P. Brawley Dr.

Crews are now focusing on repairing the midtown Atlanta break.
