A series of water main breaks in Atlanta caused widespread disruption on Saturday, as outages and severely reduced water pressure forced some businesses to close and infuriated residents who criticized city officials for failing to provide timely updates. Reports of interrupted service began on Friday after corroded water pipes burst near downtown; it was unclear exactly when the ruptures occurred. The disruptions continued into Saturday, with many people still experiencing very low water pressure. They said that the “system is gradually being brought back online,” allowing for water pressure to increase. The outages forced businesses to close or limit their services, and some hospitals had to divert patients and cancel certain procedures.
