RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- The boil water advisory issued in the City of Richmond, as well as the neighboring counties of Hanover, Henrico and Goochland, was lifted on Saturday morning. At 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11, Richmond Mayor Danny Avula announced that the Virginia Department of Health officially lifted the boil water advisory for the City of Richmond following the results of two rounds of clean water tests. According to the city, the boil water advisories for Hanover, Henrico and Goochland counties have also been lifted.  “We have reached our goal, Richmond,” Avula said. “After an incredible amount of work by so many dedicated public servants — as well as regional, state, and federal partners — we have received the news we’ve been waiting for: With two rounds of clean test results, we have verified that our water is clean and safe for people to drink. Accordingly, I am pleased to announce the end of the boil water advisory. I also want to sincerely thank Richmonders for their patience and understanding throughout this challenging time.”  The boil water advisory was issued on Monday, Jan. 6, as a precaution to protect public health due to low or no water pressure in Richmond's distribution system. Officials said residents should be aware that water coming out of faucets may temporarily be cloudy due to trapped air bubbles as the system continues to normalize across the city. "This is not unusual, and it does not pose a health risk," the city said in its statement. "The water safety testing process involves certified laboratory assessment in which samples are evaluated over a 24-hour period to see if they contain contaminants such as harmful bacteria."
