“Let it Flow:”

The city has designated Jan. 24 through Jan. 31 as Water Recovery Week. Richmonders can kick off Let It Flow: Water Recovery Week by visiting any of the restaurants participating in the 8th annual Vegan Food Week through Sunday, Jan. 26.

Message from City of Richmond on recent water emergency and water safety:

“The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) will issue a Notice of Alleged Violation (NOAV) for Richmond’s water treatment plant. A NOAV is a necessary and planned part of working with VDH on a corrective action plan and one that will help ensure stable and resilient functionality at Richmond’s Water Treatment Plant.

Just yesterday, the City of Richmond hired HNTB Corporation to conduct a thorough, independent after-action investigation into the events surrounding the water outage earlier this month. In the coming days, the City will review and respond to the recommendations VDH has made and, where appropriate, incorporate them into the after-action report produced by HNTB.

Richmonders should know that water flowing to residences and businesses is clean and safe for consumption, and that the City’s Water Treatment Plant continues to produce more than enough drinking water to support the needs of Richmond and its regional partners. The City’s Water Treatment Plant frequently engages with regulatory agencies such as VDH, and collaboration with those partners at the regional, state, and federal level is part of the ongoing work to sustain a resilient water system moving forward.”
