Officials issued the advisory after a pump failure at a water treatment facility.


A power outage at a Richmond water treatment facility resulted in a pump failure, forcing the city to issue a boil water advisory until further notice.

Richmonders should boil water before consuming or using it and take steps to conserve water, the city announced Monday.

Some residents have reported little to no water pressure in parts of the city, including the Fan, the Museum District and Scott’s Addition.

There will be less regulations, less oversight, and guaranteed less federal money for state and local infrastructure when Elon and his DOGE* get to cutting government spending so the rich get more tax cuts.
