\n ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 For at least some residents, Atlanta\u2019s water problems weren\u2019t over Monday.Milena Franco, a resident of the city\u2019s Midtown neighborhood, said she and her husband had water all weekend. But Monday morning, the flow was cut off, as Franco discovered when she tried to take a shower.\u201cI got in the shower and I just cried for a little bit,\u201d Franco said.City officials said water was shut down in the immediate neighborhood as part of an effort to stanch the flow from a broken water main that had been gushing a river into the streets since Friday night.The geyser finally ran dry around sunrise Monday, after officials trucked in parts from Alabama under a police escort. But a large swath of the city remained under an order to boil water before drinking it, even in areas where pressure had been restored after a first mammoth leak was fixed Saturday. The days of outages had some residents frustrated with the pace of repairs, saying the city still isn\u2019t doing a good job providing information.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are laser-focused on this problem and my administration understands how critical water is for our lifeline in this city,\u201d Dickens told reporters at the site of the water main break Monday.<\/p>\n
But his news conference ended before reporters could ask all their questions because resident Rhett Scircle was asking the questions residents in nearby buildings wanted to know.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen will the water be back on? Is there any estimated timeline? We live right here!\u201d Scircle yelled at Department of Watershed Management Commissioner Al Wiggins Jr.Wiggins, though, declined to estimate when water would be flowing again, even as backhoes continued digging in a hole behind him.The outage has not affected the entire city of 500,000 \u2014 many areas in Atlanta\u2019s northern and southern ends never lost water pressure and never faced a boil order. But for thousands of residents, trouble began Friday when a junction of three water mains sprang a massive leak west of downtown. Wiggins said that leak was caused by corrosion and was tricky to repair because the three pipes created a confined space for work. <\/p>\n
The Midtown leak began hours later. Wiggins said city workers still aren\u2019t sure why it happened, but it to was difficult to fix because it happened at a junction of two large water pipes, and the valve to turn them off was inaccessible because of the gushing liquid. The city instead dug holes in four directions a block away to cut off the flow to the Midtown leak, although Scircle and some other residents said they saw little work for much of Saturday and Sunday.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.But it was a hard weekend for other residents. Workers at a bar adjoining the Midtown leak were beginning to try to clean up Monday after the water burst through a plate glass window and the bar was closed all weekend, costing the owner and workers money. A hotel adjoining the Midtown break was evacuating some guests Monday after a dry weekend.<\/p>\n
Some high-rise office buildings remained closed Monday, saying there wasn\u2019t enough water pressure to run air conditioning units and carry water to high floors.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\u2019s response, saying officials continued to fail to communicate clearly, even after Dickens apologized Saturday and promised updates at two-hour intervals.Jose Franco, Milena Franco\u2019s husband, said he and his wife had continued to drink tap water for a time Saturday because they didn\u2019t know about the boil water outage. Both he and his wife said that the water cutoff in their apartment took them by surprise before dawn Monday.\u201cIf they know there\u2019s not going to be water for a few days, they should provide more free water,\u201d Jose Franco said. And he noted \u201cthe elephant in the room\u201d \u2014 the inability to flush toilets.<\/p>\n
City workers continued to promise free bottled water to affected residents at fire stations Monday. Dickens declared a state of emergency so the city could buy materials and hire workers without following the normal purchasing laws, but a spokesperson said there was no estimate yet of how much the emergency had cost the city.Faltering infrastructure is a common story in older parts of American cities. Atlanta has spent billions in recent years to upgrade its aging sewer and water infrastructure, including a tunnel drilled through 5 miles (8 kilometers) of rock to provide the city more than 30 days of stored water. Last month, voters approved continuing a 1-cent sales tax to pay for federally mandated sewer upgrades. The city at one time routinely dumped untreated sewage into creeks and the Chattahoochee River.Wiggins said Monday that \u201cthere\u2019s always ongoing work\u201d on the city\u2019s water system.<\/p>\n
