Richmond Mayor Danny Avula shared Thursday that all nine zones served by Richmond’s water system are fully pressurized, and that the boil water advisory could be lifted by Friday or Saturday, pending water quality tests.

Having not showered for days himself, Richmond Mayor Danny Avula met with members of the media Wednesday morning to provide a blend of updates on the city’s ongoing water crisis and a warning that water may not be safe to consume without boiling it until Friday.

The outage comes after a major winter storm caused widespread impacts across more than a dozen states, including hundreds of thousands of power outages across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
