The Sunday graduation ceremony for the Savannah College of Art and Design will be moved due the ongoing water main breaks affecting downtown Atlanta.

The 1 p.m. ceremony, scheduled to be held at the Georgia World Congress Center, will be moved to the SCADshow theater, located at 1470 Spring Street, the GWCC Said late Saturday.

Water main breaks and the required repairs have plagued the city since Friday, leaving many without water.
