About 50 businesses in downtown Atlanta were temporarily without water after a water main suffered damage Monday morning, city officials said.

Water service was interrupted near 73 Peachtree St., just south of the Five Points MARTA station, the city of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management said in a tweet around 11 a.m. Just before 1 p.m., the department tweeted that water service was restored.

Crews repaired a 12-inch water main, the department said, though the tweet did not specify how the main was damaged or what caused it.

Three fire hydrants were also affected by the outage.
