A series of water main breaks in the City of Atlanta over the weekend caused thousands of Atlantans to lose access to water. A boil water advisory was put in place, businesses were forced to close, and events and hospital services were canceled. On top of that, confusion and slow-moving updates plagued the city’s response to the community.
