Atlanta Under Emergency Boil-Water Order After Water Main Breaks

HeadlineJun 03, 2024

Many Atlanta residents have been without running water since Friday afternoon after multiple water main breaks across the city. Mayor Andre Dickens declared a state of emergency Saturday night and issued a boil-water advisory in affected areas. The group Debt Collective said, “Let’s be clear. Atlanta is on a boil water advisory because local elected officials have chosen to prioritize the funding of violent police at the expense of local infrastructure, environmental safety and democracy. #StopCopCity.”
