The city of Atlanta is under a state of emergency, Mayor Andre Dickens said Saturday evening during a news conference to update the status of recent water main breaks across the city.

City officials are targeting the brakes aggressively and say they are now starting with the main brakes at the intersection of West Peachtree St. and 11th Street.

Multiple water main breaks were reported in downtown Atlanta on Friday and continued into Saturday morning.

As a result, the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management issued a boil water advisory for much of the city. Earlier Saturday afternoon, they extended this advisory to another part of the city.
