Officials in Atlanta announced on Thursday that residents are no longer required to boil water before consumption, following a water main break that occurred west of downtown six days ago. Normal water flow and pressure were fully restored citywide on Wednesday, but additional time was needed to conduct bacteria testing to ensure the water's safety.
The initial water main rupture took place last Friday and was promptly repaired by Saturday. However, a second leak that emerged later on Friday was not resolved until Tuesday.
