Widespread water outages were reported in Atlanta on Saturday, affecting customers across the city and prompting a boiling water warning from the mayor.

“There was a water cut in a manufacturing building on campus,” Georgia Tech spokeswoman Denise Ward told AJC.com. “They are working on that now and the police department is redirecting traffic.”
