ATLANTA — Twelve Midtown Hotel in Atlantic Station has been evacuated for issues with power and water, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department said Friday.
AFRD said the order to evacuate was given for unpotable water conditions. They also were aware of “a power-related issue” affecting the building.
We are working to speak with someone who lives in the building LIVE on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4:00 p.m.
Georgia Power is working to resolve the power issue, and building management is helping to find accommodations for residents and guests.
“The evacuation will remain in effect until clean water service is restored,” fire officials said in a statement. ”AFRD personnel are actively engaged on scene and working alongside building management and utility partners to ensure the safety of all occupants."
Residents at Twelve Midtown previously told Channel 2’s Michael Doudna that power and water went out Feb. 10, and they had spent more than 48 hours in the dark.
“It has been a nightmare,” one tenant said. “They have sent us some emails. What about action? Not even a bottle of water.”
Emails showed Twelve Midtown brought in emergency generators to help fix the problem.
