The city of Richmond recently chose the firm that will look into its widespread water crisis. But when will residents hear about its findings? Citizens of Richmond and multiple surrounding counties had little to no water from Jan. 6 to 11, following a malfunction at the city’s water treatment facility.
In the weeks that followed this crisis, questions have been raised about how this could have happened, including what actions — if any — the city could have taken to prevent it.
. . .
“The City will definitely update the public as we move through the after-action process,” the spokesperson said. “What [details are] released to the public and when will depend on several factors — especially since there are important homeland security considerations when it comes to the water treatment plant.”
In the meantime, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is also launching its own investigation into the water crisis, also through a third-party firm. It made this decision after it found two alleged violations of state waterworks regulations at Richmond’s water treatment plant.
