Richmond, Virginia residents were told Wednesday to "continue to boil water" until city officials could get operations back online after a power outage.

Mayor Danny Avula said Thursday that the city’s reservoir is full and the water system is fully pressurized, but a boil advisory could be in place until Saturday.

Having not showered for days himself, Richmond Mayor Danny Avula met with members of the media Wednesday morning to provide a blend of updates on the city’s ongoing water crisis and a warning that water may not be safe to consume without boiling it until Friday.
