Water seemingly made a comeback in Richmond's faucets overnight Wednesday into Thursday — for real this time. The big picture: Most Richmonders had been without running water for more than two days, while residents in parts of Henrico and Hanover had been without service for around 24 hours as of Wednesday afternoon.

Henrico County issued a boil water advisory Wednesday afternoon, on the third day of a regional water emergency triggered by a power outage at Richmond’s water treatment plant on Monday, Jan. 6 caused by a winter storm.

The City of Richmond and surrounding Henrico County are under a water boil advisory after a snow-related power outage impacted Richmond’s main water plant along the James River.

Richmond Mayor Danny Avula said that water service has returned in some areas and that most residents could see at least a trickle by Wednesday afternoon.

Richmond's water problems linger, and the repercussions are being felt in the neighboring counties of Hanover and Henrico.

Richmond, Virginia residents were told Wednesday to "continue to boil water" until city officials could get operations back online after a power outage.
