Table of Contents
Richmond Mayor Danny Avula is inviting officials from neighboring localities to discuss the future of the area's drinking water systems after a series of recent crises.
The initiative announced last Friday comes after multiple issues at the city's aging water plant affected the region, including a boil water advisory in late May, high fluoride levels in April, and a water outage in January that lasted several days.
Officials from Hanover, Henrico and Chesterfield counties have been invited to join the Regional Group on Drinking Water Strategy.
The group will focus on infrastructure assessment, identifying systemic issues, and proposing solutions for the region's water systems.
