For at least some residents, Atlanta's water problems weren't over Monday.
A crew member walks near a broken water transmission line, Saturday, June 1, 2024, in Atlanta . Much of Atlanta , including all of downtown, has been without water since Friday afternoon after crews began work to repair breaks on transmission lines in the downtown area.
We are laser-focused on this problem and my administration understands how critical water is for our lifeline in this city,” Dickens told reporters at the site of the water main break Monday. Wiggins, though, declined to estimate when water would be flowing again, even as backhoes continued digging in a hole behind him.
Water pressure began to be restored early Sunday for many, and some big events, like a concert and an Atlanta United soccer match took place downtown Sunday. Dickens, a first-term Democratic mayor was in Memphis, Tennessee, conducting a political fundraiser for his 2025 reelection campaign Friday and did not return until Saturday. Many residents have attacked the city's response, saying officials continued to fail to communicate clearly, even after Dickens apologized Saturday and promised updates at two-hour intervals.
