ATLANTA — Guests and residents at Atlantic Station’s Twelve Midtown Hotel were evacuated on Friday due to a power outage that made the water unsafe to drink.

Atlanta Fire Rescue says the evacuation will remain in effect until clean water service is restored.

The department is working with building management and utility partners to ensure the safety of all occupants.

Georgia Power is addressing the outage. Officials say updates will be provided as the situation develops.

A spokesperson for Georgia Power released a statement:

“We understand how difficult this has been for residents of Twelve Midtown, and feel terrible that they are managing life without electricity at their homes. Our systems are fully operational, and we are able to serve the building - this outage does not stem from any from issues with equipment owned or managed by Georgia Power and its duration is currently beyond our control. Power can only be restored once the landlord completes any repairs that may be needed and confirms the building is ready to receive power from us. We are prepared to move quickly once that’s done.”
