Residents and businesses in north Atlanta, including the Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza malls, are being asked to boil water after a power outage at the Northside Pumping Station.
The area under the advisory is West Wesley Road to the south; the DeKalb County line to the east; Northside Drive to the west and Wieuca Road, Loridans Drive and Churchill Downs to the north. City officials could not estimate how many customers were affected.
City officials said the power outage happened about 5:30 a.m. and was restored approximately two hours later.
Officials are maintaining the advisory as a precaution to prevent anyone from getting sick from potential bacterial contamination.
Officials said the water should be boiled for at least one minute after it reaches a boiling point.
