In a press release Monday evening, Atlanta’s Department of Watershed Management announced it had lifted the boil water advisory for the affected area by the water main break at Joseph E. Boone Boulevard and J.P. Brawley Drive. The release went on to say that an advisory remained in place for the Midtown area near West Peachtree and 11th Street and neighborhoods in East Atlanta.

Earlier, Atlanta Department of Watershed Management Commissioner Al Wiggins said there was no timeline for restoring full water service in Atlanta and lifting the boil water advisory.
