We just got this information as well.
Not sure about Atlanta, but in DeKalb water outages aren't tracked via computer the way power and internet outages are. The Watershed department in DeKalb depends on residents to call and report this information. It's confusing and frustrating for residents.

The oddest thing we have seen this election is the local media's lack of interest in this story. A candidate for county commission, who is a former Doraville city councilmember, was arrested on accusations of driving under the influence after he qualified to run for county commission. The crash severely injured another driver. He was never taken to jail; instead, he got a ride home from Doraville PD. Not one word about it in the AJC or any other outlet besides Decaturish and our media partner at Atlanta News First. These documents are all easily available via a public records request. We don't even cover north DeKalb all that much. The papers that do haven't said boop about it. The election is this Tuesday. This is a weird media town.

The Georgia First Amendment Foundation released a statement about the Georgia First Amendment Clinic no longer directly advocating for the press on matters related to the open meetings and open records act.
It's time for the press to start digging.
