In Atlanta, a state of emergency was declared on Saturday due to two major water main breaks that have caused significant disruptions across the city. Businesses and homes are experiencing water shortages, leading to a boil water advisory for a majority of residents.
The water main breaks have forced hospitals in downtown and midtown Atlanta to transfer patients and divert ambulances to other medical facilities. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens has issued an apology and assured the public that repair teams are working tirelessly to address the situation.
