#Atlanta #Infrastructure #Georgia
on the cusp of election season 🤨
Will be like ohio , do nothing to help
Interesting when you decide to divert PUBLIC MONEY, TAXES, THE FINANCES THAT ARE RECEIVED, YET NEVER USE THOSE MONIES FOR THE PEOPLE!?! – ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ILLEGALLY ENTER THE USA, AND OTHER “PET” PROJECTS THAT YOU WISH TO INDULGE IN… MEGAN, THE STUPID POS STALLION CONCERT? REALLY? THE REPORT FROM THE MEDIA CITES THIS SORT OF STUPIDITY? WHY? People that pay their hard earned money in taxes are now being left to deal with a WATER CRISIS? Yet, the city is concerned with the fall back from the concert goers that cannot enjoy their STUPID SHOW? People, stop with the taxes, and the payment of… See how fast it turns around… And I do mean, “assist” them with their “taxes”….
Send more money Overseas
Was this domestic terroism from Trump supporters?
This is bad leadership! They let the water run out on all the citizens? Where was the wisdom in allowing this to be ignored? VOTE GOV OUT!
Fellow Americans if we have leaders who basically get paid but either do or don’t things that make it worse for citizens-VOTE THAT USELESS PERSON OUT!
Investigate your fire chief , he did it.
This is very suspicious to me and I don’t buy the poor infrastructure bs although there is poor infrastructure. Could this be due to pressure build up underground?
This is just a taste of what’s coming to us.
Hope they fix it before the election.
It’s judgment against the city weekend pride activities! 🥺
Build back better right?
God is definitely Judging America. So much is happening. Repent! Repent! Repent!
what gross incompetence is this?
and never says how many breaks? crappy reporting
Here we go again
Reciprocity.
Shut the water off!!! You don’t build water mains without shutoff valves in both directions. I live in the Roseville, CALIFORNIA area and they have shut off valves on their mains. This won’t happen out here.
😂 sure! There must be voting going on. Fani pack Willis trying to damage those paper documents for voter fraud, her fraud, and all them cucumbers on her boulevard. Slip and slide… better wrap yo rubber duck!
can we build anothe rpier to nowhere or give ukraine abother 10billlion or maybe saudi arabia another 10billion or turkey or egypt etc
You let less than 120 IQ people lead your city, you have a city at 80 IQ results.
May 20 2024-
Cyberattacks against water utilities across the country are becoming more frequent and more severe, the Environmental Protection Agency warned Monday as it issued an enforcement alert urging water systems to take immediate actions to protect the nation’s drinking water.
Fulton is gonna be issuing more fake $20K water bill to random residents to cover this leak and fix. Just sayin.
Free swimming pool for the people of Atlanta
This also happened in GA when they were counting the election votes in 2020.
Do you mean to tell me they are worried about water and not buying a new Louis Vuitton bag boy what a change
Democrat voters get what u want yet
This is what happens when you DON’T force the rich to pay taxes, and have police harassment run wild with qualified immunity.
Pay attention to your infrastructure, not on how corrupt you can run a government.
I bet California is jealous the southeast having abundant of water
Probably should focus on the infrastructure. This is happening more than u think across the nation.
Not a tragedy or redline..”All eyes on Rafah”..🙏
Man time to find our bathing suits.
Maintainence is key
They weren’t supposed to break until the NOVEMBER ELECTION
3 years of infrastructure money has gone where? 225 billion of the infrastructure bill has disappeared into thin air
You are supposed to do that on election day its too soon
All of of those low taxes from the government, investments in high price condos and apartments, money for entertainment and strip clubs. But no money for public infrastructure and paving roads. Unbelievable!!!
hi josh
btw what my cousin said was fake abt me asking u out shes doing it to everyone lolll
Where’s all of the ATL entertainers and musicians with the water for the people?
if they all threw in a few 20’s they’d have enough to drink and then some until it is fixed
Good thing they gave fani wade all their money!!!😂😂😂 i mean… they all got new swag though! Swag and plane tickets and vacations… good thing they spent the tax payers money not on the tax payers or city.
E’ry one gonna be ashy.
Who gets in trouble if that water is at a ballot box and the people in line drink it?
Hope no federal funding goes towards this.
Waterhammer…blew the pipes?
If you’ve had this many breaks, you’re just gonna have more and more…. 😢
They need to replace their pipes with CIPP (Cure In Place Pipes) made by that company called IMPREG
Major DEI hiring failures
Yeah well we knew that our infrastructure got a D rating from army corps of engineers.
Stop your corruption in your city and county governments and maybe the money and work will fix these kind of problems.
Atlanta needed a bath anyways. Filthy city. Ran by liberals and democrats and it shows. It smells there
So the city ignores preventive maintenance procedures because it costs too much …
How can Megan be a stallion. Is she hiding something. Should she maybe be called pegger the stallion not peggie? Asking for a friend
And of course please ask for federal aid instead of paying for it yourselves, right?
Atlanta is becoming like California more and more each day
Practicing for the next election?
But Atlanta has black leadership. The best! 🤥 did white people do this to them? Was it Donald Trump?
Not safe to drink anyway . More terrorist attacks?
What party has been running this city? They will be begging for federal aid so all American taxpayers can foot the cost of THEIR failure to keep THEIR infrastructure up to date.Lets wait and see
Gotta keep funding Israel, Ukraine, the homeless industrial complex and fattening crooked politicians pocket books while normal civilians pay for it.
Yeah! Columbus Ohio had mysteries concerning electricity outages similar to this infrastructure $$$$
Just saying In my opinion personally 🌮🌯🫔🍻🍻🍻
Remember Empty Atlanta lot with no water line got nearly $30K bill so know who is going to pay this water bill?
Beautiful fresh water being wasted. Aging infrastructure is the problem and it’s not just this city.
Plenty of time and TAXPAYER money for bull$hit trials, but nothing in the till for basic needs. Do you now see why you need real people in office and not talking heads that steal from you.
What are the odds that there’s a MAIN valve that will shut off the water, but it would also turn off some high level muckety muck’s water as well and they were told that option is off limits?
Couldn’t happen to a better city. Watch your feet cause cities so full of crap. Hopefully it sinks on down and then hopefully NYC will be next to have issues.
The exposure of your DUMB is almost here, Mayor.
Terrorists trial run.
“Who is John Galt?”
Time to declare a State Emergency. Get Biden on it. What are they waiting for?
Sounds very suspicious 🤨
Maybe stop spending money prosecuting Trump and fix your infrastructure
chocolate city, chocolate city managers.
Blue city infrastructure.
Is it already election day?
That’s the mayor’s fault for the construction they have in that country so all you have to blame is the mayor the mayor should because some of his money and do the repairs
You sure the mayor has no problem getting water for himself or the family I need another mayor replace him
Keep voting democrats. Expecting different results. 😆 The last time Atlanta had a Republican Mayor was:
Angier (November 10, 1814 – February 3, 1882) was the Mayor of Atlanta from 1877 to 1879. To date, he is the last Republican to hold that office. Slow learners.
Sounds like Michigan and the Democrats water problems
this is what conservatism does
I call my brother he’s good thank God but knowing my cousin havng probably down town but they will get threw this I’m in the process going to Atlanta next month hope everything be good special I’m catching the Plane there❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jesus saves! Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior before it’s too late!
Do not turn the pump off . What ever u do
Spend money for war, and not infrastructure, this is what you get, a third world situation.
Ohh not worries, while socialism takes over this is the norm. For example in Venezuela whole cities are with not water or electricity. So get used to it
Like i said. We are just a few years behind chinese tofu dreg issues being seen worldwide. Buildings falling down, collapsed bridges and stadiums, and infrastructure decay.
America as a whole doesn’t invest in infrastructure. Pockets must get greased. Who has time for infrastructure 😮
Got blank checks for war but no money for infrastructure. Sounds about capitalism
time to pay the demons have han your people under control wake up or fall. kalki true
Another example of government infighting at the expense of the people.
Because they keep electing incompetent politicians who appoint their unqualified cronies to run important agencies!! Stop defending incompetence, stop electing “corrupt”, stop empowering mediocrity!
Send Fani Willis to help dig to fix the water main breaks.
calamity’s from God’s wrath
We are all need to pray for repentance 🙏
people gotta bathe too
If only democrats controlled Atlanta, then this wouldn’t happen. Oh wait.
Hope help gets there faster than money and weapons got to Ukraine and Israel.
🤷 Wonder where the people went that could fix that problem?
I don’t need any water. I need some shiny wheels on my car
Liberalism
