Water woes continue in Atlanta for third day
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Water streamed through several streets in Atlanta for the third consecutive day.
After a weekend out of town, Andrew Hagan and Zenia Nava discovered that the water wasn’t working at their apartment in Midtown.
“We’d tried to flush the toilet and it wouldn’t go,” Hagan said. “The sinks are just dripping until they’re empty and we assume the shower won’t work.”
While walking around their neighborhood, the couple was forced to tiptoe through a pond of rushing water.
This came from a major water main break at the intersection of 11th Street and West Peachtree Street NW, near the Eleventh Street Pub.
“It’s a little off-putting, I wasn’t expecting it when we got in today. It’s not fun to walk over.”
Outside State Farm Arena, Megan Reid was back from Birmingham after Friday’s Megan Thee Stallion’s concert was canceled.
“I was really frustrated because I took off work and rented a car,” she said.
Reid had driven over two hours in rush hour traffic on Friday afternoon, only to find out that the concert was rescheduled to Sunday because of widespread water issues in Atlanta.
Reid was especially upset that State Farm Arena made the announcement only two hours before the show was set to start.
“I just kind of feel like they waited as long as they possibly could,” she said. “People who traveled from other places weren’t really taken into consideration.”
While the water worked at State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, the citywide boil water advisory remained in effect.
This meant limited food and drink options, as concessions stands weren’t able to sell soda from the fountain machines.
Both venues also added an abundance of hand sanitizing stations.
Dirk Davis attended the Atlanta United match.
“I knew they were going to have hand sanitizer, limited food and vending,” he said. “Probably don’t want to be drinking a lot of water or going to the bathroom.”
Reflecting back on this weekend, Davis says these widespread water issues weren’t a good look for Atlanta’s local leaders.
“To have such a big city shutdown like this because of a water main is real strange,” he concluded. “It leaves a little black eye on the city.”
According to the Atlanta Watershed Management Department, the boil-water advisory for residents located near Joseph E. Boone Boulevard and James P. Brawley Drive could be lifted on Monday.
This would only be the case if Atlanta gets the greenlight from Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division.

Tickets on sale for Atlanta Ballet 2’s limited three-performance run of the beloved fairytale at the city’s iconic theatre
ATLANTA (June 19, 2026) – Atlanta Ballet is set to return to the Fox Theatre for the first time since 2019 as Atlanta Ballet 2 presents three performances of Cinderella. For one weekend only, Oct. 16-17, dancers from Atlanta Ballet 2 and the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education will perform one of the world’s most beloved fairy tales on the city’s iconic stage, marking an exclusive homecoming for the company.
Cinderella tells the timeless story of kindness, perseverance and the search for true love. Part of Atlanta Ballet’s family ballet series, the one-hour, family-friendly production is designed to introduce young audiences to the art of ballet, transporting them into a world of enchantment through immersive storytelling, vibrant costumes, imaginative sets and beloved characters.
“Having the opportunity to perform at The Fox is very meaningful for our Atlanta Ballet 2 dancers,” said Gennadi Nedvigin, artistic director of Atlanta Ballet. “The theatre with its whimsical decor is deeply rooted in Atlanta’s cultural history and returning there with Cinderella allows us to share a timeless story with new generations in the magical environment.”
Choreographed by Bruce Wells, this version of Cinderella blends classical choreography with narration to suit audiences of all ages. Wells is internationally acclaimed for his role as a former soloist with New York City Ballet, where he performed works by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Frederick Ashton and Anthony Tudor. Audiences may also recognize Wells’ previous Atlanta Ballet 2 works, including Beauty and the Beast, Swan Princess and Snow White.
While the Fox Theatre engagement offers audiences an opportunity to see Atlanta Ballet perform on one of the city’s most iconic stages, the company’s primary performance home will remain the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Following the October performances, all Atlanta Ballet productions, including the annual Nutcracker, will continue to be presented at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters prior to tonight’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers that center fielder Michael Harris II could go on the IL with lower back issues if it doesn’t improve in the coming days.
The team is hopeful an IL-stint can be avoided as he is semmingly doing better and he is receiving treatment and could be available tonight, but Mauricio Dubón is starting in place of Harris II in center field.
Harris II left the June 16 game and also missed time earlier this month with lower back tightness. With monsoon season hitting the Atlanta-area, the wet conditions have wrecked the team’s schedule, but also created non-ideal conditions on the field, including on the 16th when Harris II left the contest.
It’s not good news – but it isn’t bad news either.
