The Richmond, Hanover, and Henrico water systems all announced an end of boil water notices Saturday.
Customers had been dealing with low or no pressure and a boil notice since Richmond's water treatment plant suffered a major malfunction during Monday's winter storm.
Richmond Mayor Danny Avula announced the successful completion of two rounds of water quality testing around 11:30 Saturday morning. “We have reached our goal, Richmond,” said Avula.
Hanover and Henrico counties also received clean results and lifted their boil notices shortly after.
A news release from the city said people should be aware that water coming out of faucets may temporarily be cloudy due to trapped air bubbles as the system continues to normalize. The city says this does not pose a health risk.
On Friday, Avula said the city would undertake an independent review to determine what went wrong with the treatment plant and how it can be prevented from happening again.
