The Atlanta Department of Watershed Management reported at 6:30 a. m. Saturday that the break has been repaired. After a water main break repair, you may notice air in the line or discolored water from your tap. To alleviate this problem, flush the cold water lines by opening the faucet on the lowest floor in your home or business.
Run the cold water taps for about five minutes or until the water runs clear. Open the other faucets one at a time, moving from the lowest floor to the highest. Additionally, remember to flush your refrigerator's water lines as well. After following these steps, you should notice the water running clear within five minutes. Don't forget to turn off your faucets in the same order, from the lowest to the highest.
The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management responded to a water main break at the intersection of Moury Avenue and Jonesboro Road late Friday morning. Crews worked "aggressively" to make repairs to the 24-inch water main affecting the service area, according to a press release.
