RICHMOND, Va. — The leader of Richmond's Department of Public Utilities (DPU) said fixing the agency's water-related issues will not be a quick process. In fact, it could take up to 10 years for all necessary changes to be implemented. "This is going to be an uphill battle," DPU Director Scott Morris told Richmond City Council. "There's a lot of things that we need to do and correct. It's going to be a bumpy road, but I'm here for the long haul.

RICHMOND, Va. — On Thursday, Richmond city officials confirmed CBS 6's initial reporting that delayed maintenance at the water treatment plant is what caused a two-day boil water advisory that impacted thousands of residents and businesses. Department of Public Utilities (DPU) Director Scott Morris said the plant delayed cleaning its plate settlers in its sedimentation basin, which ultimately led to clogged filters and a cease in water production.

A new study recommends against changing oversight of the Dept. of Juvenile Justice. While the report found community services are accessible, rehabilitative programs in detention/correctional facilities remain a challenge. It also revealed a 51% staff vacancy rate at Bon Air.
Currently, DJJ falls under the purview of the public safety secretary, but advocates have argued that transferring DJJ to the health and human resources secretariat would improve access to services. https://t.co/L12QUhrkzy
There may be additional causes of Richmond’s latest boil water advisory than what the city reported, according to VDH. While the city said it’s “not atypical” to experience back-to-back water woes, the state says it’s “unprecedented.” @CBS6 https://t.co/Tgqizyn0fV
Henrico wants Richmond to accept its offer to help fix water issues. While some county board members have met with city council members on regional solutions, one Henrico leader says they’re still waiting on the city’s response. @CBS6 https://t.co/AW2YOaxTBv
