RICHMOND, Va. — A water main break is impacting water pressure in parts of Richmond.
The city said crews were responding to the Trafford Pump Station in Byrd Park and the Westhampton Pump Station near the Country Club of Virginia and the University of Richmond.
"Crews have been working on assessing and isolating the problem since the early hours," a city spokesperson told CBS 6. "We understand that this is very worrisome for folks, especially for those who were here in 2025 and with the heat."
Impacts were felt in neighborshood such as the Museum District, Windsor Farms, and South Richmond, according to reports from WTVR CBS 6 viewers and social media community members.
Earlier this week, the City of Richmond asked for Richmonders to voluntarily conserve water amid Virginia's ongoing drought.
Richmond's water treatment plant supplies water to Richmond, Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico, Goochland and Powhatan.
All water conservation updates are available at rva.gov.
