The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (DWM) lifted a boil water advisory on Thursday in parts of Fairburn and South Fulton.
“Sampling results have confirmed that no contamination was detected in the public water system,” DWM officials said in a statement. “Water may be used for all purposes without boiling.”
DWM issued the advisory on Wednesday following a power outage at the Adamsville Pump Station that impacted 14 residents and 24 businesses.
According to DWM, a third-party contractor working in the area inadvertently struck a power line, causing a brief loss of power.
“The City’s drinking water meets or exceeds standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as required by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act,” DWM said Thursday. “Also, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division has been notified.”
