Water system failure in Atlanta affects hundreds of thousands

Hundreds of thousands of people are struggling with little to no water pressure in Atlanta Monday afternoon.

About two dozen of Atlanta's schools are without water, according to the AJC, and officials tracked the problem to the city's Hemphill Water Treatment Plant and Pumping system.

City officials announced they were addressing the problem at the city's main water treatment plant just before noon. Residents are asked to boil drinking water until the pressure in the system rebuilds.
