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.

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.
The department gave residents to OK to return to normal water usage around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
