After experiencing a brief outage in a section of its boarding gates on Sunday evening, power was restored to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

The disruption came shortly after water service was restored to the facility amid main breaks that have caused shortages throughout the city over the past three days.

The power outage occurred at Concourse B between gates 24 and 36 at around 4:30 p.m., according to the airport’s social media account. The issue stemmed from an airline contractor who drilled into one of the concourse’s power lines.
