UPDATE: Sandy Springs boil water advisory lifted

Atlanta has lifted the boil water advisory for Sandy Springs residents after a breached transmission main caused contamination concerns.

The department issued a boil water advisory for residents and businesses shortly after 12 p.m. Sunday while the crews investigated a possible breach on a 48-inch transmission main within the vicinity of Riverside Road and the Don White Memorial Park.

Repairs were completed by 9 a.m. Monday morning, but the advisory remained in effect until water samples from the area are cleared of contamination.
