The City of Atlanta is under a State of Emergency Mayor Andre Dickens said on Saturday night at a press conference to update the status of the recent water main breaks throughout the city.
City officials are targeting the breaks aggressively and say they are now starting on the main breaks at the intersection of West Peachtree St. and 11th Street.
Multiple water main breaks were reported in midtown Atlanta on Friday and headed into Saturday morning.
As a result, the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management issued a boil water advisory for a large portion of the city. Earlier on Saturday afternoon, they extended that advisory to cover another section of the city.
