What happened?

On Tuesday on Tuesday, Richmond Mayor Danny Avula’s office said: “Due to the high cloudiness in the system, some of the work filters clogged and temporarily reduced finished water production.”

In this statement it also says: “Despite the reduction, the system continues to produce enough water to maintain the safe pressure level – above the threshold that a cooking water consultant would have needed.”

“DPU and the city were the issue of a localized Boil consultant, but after a thorough assessment it was found that no advice was required,” continued the explanation from 9 a.m.

The city has not yet said what has changed between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

City officials said they had contacted the situation in Virginia Department of Health and the counties all the morning.

Years of problems with the Richmond water treatment plant came to the head in January 2025 when a power failure left the city and some surrounding counties without clean water for days.

The Richmond water crisis led to both leadership and procedural changes within the city’s public supply companies.
