Officials issue boil water advisory for Petersburg, Virginia, US, as of July 8, due to a water main break.
Officials in Petersburg, Virginia, maintain a boil water advisory for the city as of July 8, following a significant water main break that occurred on July 7. People in the city should bring water to a boil and let it boil for one minute before letting it cool.
The break happened at 800 Arlington Street, and some residences and businesses in the area do not have water service. Some government offices were closed July 8 due to the ongoing issues. Officials are also asking residents and businesses to conserve water until the problem is fixed.
Commercial businesses that rely on large quantities of water may experience disruptions, including low water pressure, until services are restored. Additional water outages are possible.
Secure alternative water supplies for business operations. Pressure and water quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes.
