RICHMOND, Va. — The Richmond region's water crisis ended on Saturday after Richmond Mayor Danny Avula said the Virginia Department of Health lifted the Boil Water Advisory for Richmond as well as Hanover, Henrico and Goochland counties.

After days of disruption, residents across Richmond, Henrico, Hanover and Goochland can finally use their water without boiling it first.

Mayor Danny Avula said Thursday that the city’s reservoir is full and the water system is fully pressurized, but a boil advisory could be in place until Saturday.

Officials said Tuesday morning that they hope pressure would be restored to the system by the afternoon. But the advisory will likely be in place for another 48 hours.
