Atlanta water main break repair complete, water restored in Midtown area

ATLANTA — Crews have completed repairs on the water main break at the intersection of West Peachtree Street and 11th Street. Water has been restored to the Midtown area’s residents and businesses. The system is slowly being brought back online to allow system pressures to rebuild.

The boil water advisory is still in effect out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with Georgia EPD guidance for public advisory.

DWM is following its flushing protocols for the water system as a precautionary measure and has tested the affected zones to confirm that the public water in the system is safe for all purposes. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division will inform the Department of Watershed Management when the advisory can be lifted.

“We are pleased to announce that water service has been fully restored across our city. Our dedicated teams have worked tirelessly to resolve the issue, and I applaud them for their service,” said Mayor Andre Dickens. “We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our residents and businesses during this challenging time. Together, we have demonstrated the resilience that defines our city.”

The City of Atlanta apologizes to those affected by this unexpected disruption. We know how important water is to our citizens’ daily lives and understand your frustrations with the situation. Therefore, the City of Atlanta extends its gratitude to you for bearing with us during this time.
