Richmond residents and businesses have had to boil water as they wait for water pressure to return.
A water crisis in Richmond caused by a snow storm has delayed the start of Virginia’s General Assembly session.
State lawmakers were supposed to begin the General Assembly session today, but water issues across the city of Richmond, including in state government buildings, have delayed things. Lawmakers will gavel in briefly today but won’t begin their work in earnest until Monday.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin was supposed to give his State of the Commonwealth Address on Wednesday but will now do so on Monday.
Richmond’s water problems began on Monday when the city issued an advisory for people to boil their water after an outage at a water treatment facility that serves the city.
Richmond Mayor Danny Avula said on Wednesday the boil advisory likely would not be lifted until Friday, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
