Water main break disrupts businesses, tourist attractions in downtown Atlanta, other areas of city

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta officials say a water main break has interrupted water service and led to low water pressure in the city’s downtown and other parts of Georgia’s capital. The city’s water department says crews on Friday were “working aggressively” to make emergency repairs to the 32-inch water main. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that some Atlanta and Fulton County offices closed because of the issue. Tourist attractions were also affected, including the Georgia Aquarium, which ended operations early. Zoo Atlanta closed early, at 1 p.m. Friday, because of the water pressure issues.
