Midtown water main repairs complete, service restored in area

The latest: Atlanta officials said Wednesday "the system is slowly being brought back online to allow system pressures to rebuild."

What they're saying: "Our dedicated teams have worked tirelessly to resolve the issue, and I applaud them for their service," Mayor Andre Dickens said in a statement. "We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our residents and businesses during this challenging time."

Yes, but: Don't ditch the bottled water just yet. The boil-water advisory for the Midtown area and east side neighborhoods will remain in effect, as Atlanta officials will have to test the water to ensure it's safe to consume.

• Sporadic issues are also being reported, as the Fulton County Board of Health said Wednesday it will close its offices at 10 Park Place in Downtown and the Adamsville Health Center due to "ongoing disruption of water service."

Be smart: We'll continue hearing about water main breaks in the coming weeks, as they're almost a daily occurrence in Atlanta.

• Compared to these major breaks, they are usually relatively easier to patch in a shorter amount of time.
