Social Circle city leaders are backing a decision to keep water service shut off to a proposed federal immigration detention site.

Social Circle is barring water use by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's planned detention center for now, according to city leaders.

A collapsed sewer line, about 8 miles from the White House, pumped 368 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of wastewater into the Potomac. Repairs could take longer than previously expected.

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is proposing legislation that would designate $20 million to make improvements to one metro Atlanta city’s water system.

Officials have been struggling for months to patch up an "old, crumbling system" while planning for a more permanent fix.
