The winter storm on Monday knocked out power at the city’s water plant, leaving thousands under a boil water advisory for days.

Water might be back in Richmond by Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Avula cautiously said Tuesday morning. Yes, but: That's if nothing goes wrong between now and then. And in a Tuesday morning presser, Avula described a series of setbacks overnight that bucked the chances of water being back by 10pm Monday night as initially expected.

The city of Richmond is under a boil water advisory and residents are being urged to conserve water use after a power outage at the city's water treatment facility early Monday. Why it matters: Some city residents have no water because of the outage.
