(Petersburg, Virginia) – July 25, 2016. Petersburg City Manager Dironna M. Belton, has issued a mandatory reduction of water consumption today for utility customers in the City of Petersburg, due to a major water main break in the Battersesa area. Customers are asked to restrict water usage to those purposes that maintain the public health, safety and welfare of human and animal life. Prohibit using water for purposes such as watering lawns and/or landscapes, non-commercial car washing, filling swimming pools etc. This mandatory restriction is in effect for at least the next 24 hours or until crews can repair the water main. The City will provide an update once this restriction has been lifted.
