The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management has issued a boil water advisory for the City of Atlanta, specifically in the downtown area, due to an internal power failure at the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant. This boil water advisory is out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with Georgia EPD guidance for public notice.

DWM is currently monitoring operations and systems pressures. The boil water advisory will remain in place until DWM is cleared to lift the advisory, following completion of sampling protocols.

To protect the public from a potential health hazard, all residents and property owners who have experienced water outages and/or low water pressures are advised to boil all water prior to use or use bottled water for drinking, cooking, preparing baby food, or brushing teeth. The water should be boiled for one minute past a rolling boil. Infants, the elderly, and those with immune deficiencies should be cautious. Also, do not drink water from public water fountains in the impacted area.

National Public Works Week is almost here! Join us from May 17–23 to thank and celebrate our hardworking team who keep Atlanta clean, safe, and moving forward every day.
