@SuzanneWriting @RichmonderNews Again, why are you hyper focused on trust and not the failure of the city government to provide the service? Why not write an investigative piece on: "An Epidemic of Local Governments Unable to Provide Reliable, Safe Tap Water"?

@RichmonderNews What is this obsession with "trust"? No, the "city's biggest task" is not "earning back its residents' trust." It's providing safe and reliable water! Is this satire? Am I missing something?

@CityRichmondVA Person who writes about water issues here. 👋 "Excessive sediment" does not build up overnight. We need more info from the water operator. What's going on? Infrastructure failures? Treatment issues? Virginia Health Dep. said Jan crisis was avoidable. This one was too.

@sabrinaamorenoo That "sediment spike" did not happen overnight. Also let's not forget the DPU is asking for a 5.75% increase in water rates in the upcoming fiscal year. T

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been under a boil advisory this year, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right? axios.com/local/richmond…

@SamuelParkerRTD Yep. Not surprised! And also not unique to Richmond. This "kicking the can down the line" is happening throughout the country in large and small cities.

Records show Richmond officials in 2016 received two contractor bids to repair the water treatment plant’s switchgear, which failed during a Jan. 6 power outage and caused the water crisis. But officials scrapped the project, deeming it "over budget." richmond.com/news/local/gov…

@Lynda_Research Sorry to hear it! It's such a frustrating situation. We woke up to no water again here in Carytown.

On the #watercrisis in #RVA Richmond, Va: Call it what it is: a crisis. It's not a water boil advisory, when people suddenly having no water at the tap. It's an outage. Next, communicate! Tell people exactly what's going on. Tweet & text often. Have a water crisis plan & test it.
