A massive water issue in Atlanta to replace a two-foot-wide water pipe that a private contractor broke is close to being solved after hours of repairs. With repairs complete, water service is now being restored.
On Friday, a 24-inch water main was damaged by a private contractor working to excavate fiber optic cables at the intersection of Moury Avenue and Jonesoboro Road.
Channel 2′s Tom Regan reported the issue had led to water service being cut off for about 70 homes, two fire hydrants and four public schools in the area.

“I have to brush my teeth with a water bottle, can’t do any cooking, can’t take a shower. I’m about to go to my in-laws to take a shower,” neighbor Aisha Lucas told Regan on Friday afternoon.
One Atlanta woman drove to Price Middle School to pick her brother up early due to the water issues.
