SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- A water main break closed one lane of westbound Abernathy Road Monday night.

As of Tuesday morning a break in the 12 inch main in the northern shoulder was fixed, and Atlanta Watershed Management is working to backfill the damaged area in the northern westbound lane, pour concrete on top of the
fill, and then plate the area.  

Once this is complete that lane will be
reopened, sometime late Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Sandy Springs City communications director, there were home and business water disruptions last night. 

Water
users should contact City of Atlanta Water for safe usage instructions (404) 658-6500.
  

Another daytime lane closure is expected when Atlanta
Watershed Management asphalt paves the concreted area.  

That could be as
soon as Wednesday. 

WASHINGTON -- American Rivers, a national environmental advocacy group, has ranked the Chattahoochee River as the third-most endangered river in the United States.

The group released its Top 10 list Tuesday. An annual list has been released by the organization each year since 1986.

The organization said it looked at issues from pollution to fracking to dams and dredging, but this year the spotlight is on issues that "have a direct impact on our clean water, public health, and wildlife."

The organization rated The Potomac River as the most endangered (flows through Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Washington , D.C.), followed by The Green River (the largest tributary of the Colorado River), and the Chattahoochee.
