SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - A days-long boil water advisory that issued for Sandy Springs on Sunday has now been lifted, according to the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management.
The advisory was issued because of a breach on a 48-inch transmission main in the vicinity of Riverside Road and Don White Memorial Park. As a result, businesses and residents in the area could have not had running water or their water pressure could have been very low.
Tuesday morning, Atlanta Watershed officials say they have examined samples that have confirmed there is no contamination of the public water system.
Water can now be used in the area for all purposes without boiling.
Officials say they have also repaired the transmission main and pressure has been normalized.
"We apologize for any inconvenience that this issue has caused to the community," a spokesperson for Atlanta Watershed wrote on Twitter.
