ATLANTA (AP) — For at least some residents, Atlanta’s water problems aren’t over. Resident Milena Franco says flow was cut off to her apartment before dawn Monday, leaving her a dry shower. City officials say water was shut down in the immediate neighborhood as part of a successful effort to stanch the flow from a broken water main that had been gushing a river into the streets since Friday night. A swath of the city remains under an order to boil water before drinking it, even in areas where pressure was restored after an first mammoth leak was fixed Saturday.  Many residents have attacked the city’s response, saying officials continued failing to communicate clearly.
