An adjacent bar and restaurant, Steamhouse Lounge re-opened nearly a week after the initial water issues arose.

Some businesses, like Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks on Forsyth Street, were unable to survive the water crisis and the issues it caused.

Last month, the Atlanta City Council approved a recovery fund that impacted businesses could apply to.
