Elleven45 Lounge water shut off

The City of Atlanta has cut off water service to Elleven45 Lounge in Buckhead over a nearly $80,000 unpaid bill.

Elleven45 Lounge, the scene of a deadly shooting on Mother's Day, has had its water cut off.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management told FOX 5 water services were discontinued on May 17 due to an outstanding bill of $78,364.47.

A spokesperson for the department did not clarify how long the bill had gone unpaid, but said the water could potentially be turned back on if the bill were paid in full with certified funds.

Atlanta files motion to shut down Elleven45

Atlanta city officials have launched a formal investigation into Elleven45 Lounge, the Buckhead nightclub where two people were killed and four others were injured in a shooting Mother's Day Weekend.

New documents filed by the Superior Court of Georgia showed the City was seeking a Temporary Restraining Order against Elleven45 Lounge, its manager and property owners.

Bond said a pending investigation could result in the establishment losing its licenses, and even some potential jail time, if the manager and owners are found to be negligent and criminally liable.

The spokesperson for the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management said the water being cut was unrelated to the ongoing investigation.
