Posted on May 30, 2025. Henrico’s Department of Public Utilities is evaluating the impact of a large water main break in the city of Richmond on water service in Henrico.
The break, located just across the county line near the primary water connection pump between the two localities, is pulling water pressure from the areas served from this connection pump. Central and eastern Henrico residents are likely to experience low water pressure, though residents have reported low pressure countywide.
Henrico has activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to begin executing plans to support critical infrastructure and residents as needed. The city is not able to supply their typical amount of water to Henrico because of the break. Due to the county’s response to the week’s issues at the city of Richmond’s water plant, Henrico’s water storage tank levels have been fluctuating based on typical usage and ability to refill them.
This is an ongoing situation, and updates will continue overnight. Follow Henrico County Government on all social media channels for updates.
