The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has again hit Richmond with a Notice of Alleged Violation after the city’s third water-related crisis event this year.
On Monday, June 16, Richmond officials announced that it had received a Notice of Alleged Violation from the VDH’s Office of Drinking Water (ODW) in connection with May’s boil water advisory. This means the ODW has accused the city of violating at least one of Virginia’s Waterworks Regulations, as laid out within its Public Water Supplies Law.
Many Richmond residents were under a boil water advisory for two days after filters at the city’s water treatment became clogged, causing a decrease in water pressure. City officials later explained this was because the filters had not been properly cleaned for some time.
Yep, ya gotta keep up with the maintenance.
