A massive 4-foot water main break in downtown Atlanta has led to widespread water outages affecting thousands of residents and businesses. The incident, which has caused several busted water mains, has left many without water for over 24 hours. Restaurants and bars have been forced to close, and concerts, including a Megan Thee Stallion performance, have been postponed. The City of Atlanta has issued a boil water notice, and there has been little communication from city officials regarding the situation. The water main break has significantly disrupted the first weekend of June for both residents and visitors, with many households and businesses still uncertain about when normal water service will resume. Watershed has not provided a substantive update in over 12 hours, leaving the elderly and ill unclear on how to take care of basic needs.
