Richmond Mayor Danny Avula provided an update in the morning on Tuesday on the city's effort to restore a city water treatment plant that experienced a malfunction after a power outage, causing a boil water advisory and water service disruptions for others.

A power outage at a water treatment facility caused a pump failure, with the city relying on a quickly depleting reservoir. A boil water advisory is expected soon, and officials have yet to provide a repair timeline.

Many residents and businesses in Richmond have no water this morning after a boil water advisory was issued on Monday.

How Richmond hospitals responded to water outages, low pressure amid boil water advisory

Water might be back in Richmond by Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Avula cautiously said Tuesday morning. Yes, but: That's if nothing goes wrong between now and then. And in a Tuesday morning presser, Avula described a series of setbacks overnight that bucked the chances of water being back by 10pm Monday night as initially expected.

The city of Richmond, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Health, issued an immediate boil water advisory on Monday, urging all residents to conserve water and boil it before consumption until further notice.

The outage comes after a major winter storm caused widespread impacts across more than a dozen states, including hundreds of thousands of power outages across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.

The city of Richmond is under a boil water advisory and residents are being urged to conserve water use after a power outage at the city's water treatment facility early Monday. Why it matters: Some city residents have no water because of the outage.
