The city of Richmond has announced ten locations for bottled water distribution.
Distribution started late in some locations. The city said trucks were delayed due to the condition of the roads.
Here is the complete announcement:
As of 9:00 a.m., the City of Richmond continues work to restore water production. The water plant systems are stabilizing and are likely to progress to water production early afternoon. Residents are urged to continue conserving water when possible. The Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect for residents with water. Until the Advisory is lifted, all residents should continue to boil water before consuming it.
The City of Richmond's Human Services portfolio has partnered with the Richmond Sheriff’s Office and the American Red Cross to continue distributing bottled water in high priority areas — including homeless services providers, public housing, and residences that house older adults. Targeted outreach and distribution to areas of high need and vulnerable populations will continue.
Bottled water distribution sites across the city will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the following locations:
| Broad Rock Library | 4820 Old Warwick Road |

“We have navigated crises before, and I know we will get through this together,” said Mayor Danny Avula. “Today, I’m asking residents to be patient and continue conserving water so our teams can keep working to serve our neighbors experiencing the greatest need.”
The City will communicate new information as it becomes available through rva.gov and its social media pages. As a reminder, residents experiencing emergencies should call 9-1-1 and can call RVA311 (3-1-1 or 804-646-7000) to submit a service request.
