Major water main breaks in Atlanta led to disruptions, a state of emergency, and hospital patient evacuations with a boil water advisory in place.
The lack of running water affected hospitals like Emory University Hospital Midtown, forcing patient transfers, rescheduled appointments, and distribution of bottled water.
Businesses like the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola closed, events got canceled, and residents criticized the city for slow communication during the crisis.
Mayor Andre Dickens acknowledged communication issues and challenges faced by Atlanta residents and businesses due to the water main breaks.
