ATLANTA - The Atlanta water crisis has finally come to an end. Water service has reportedly been restored to all Atlanta residents. The City is hoping to turn the page on what was a very tough five days following several major water main breaks.
The mayor says it is important to get in front of our city's aging infrastructure system, and he has several ideas on how to do that.
City officials held a news conference Wednesday morning.
"The infrastructure across America has a C-rating in water infrastructure, which is why it is helpful to have partners at the White House that we call, and our senators, to be able to get the Army Corps of Engineers here to help us get this under control for the future.," Mayor Dickens said.
