The mayor’s office announced early Thursday morning that the boil water advisory in place for parts of Atlanta affected by major water main breaks since Friday, May 31, has finally been lifted entirely.

Repairs on a water main break in Midtown Atlanta were completed on Wednesday, and water service was back on citywide, but some areas were still under the boil water advisory.
