City of Petersburg Issues 

Mandatory Water Usage Restriction

Petersburg, Virginia: The City is in the final stages of repairs to a water line located at Wythe and Guarantee Street. A mandatory reduction of water consumption has been issued today for Petersburg utility customers until May 2, 2018 at 6:00 am when this critical phase is expected to be completed.

Customers are asked to restrict water usage to only those purposes that maintain the public health, safety, and welfare of human and animal life.

Using water for purposes such as watering lawns and/or landscapes, non-commercial car washing, filling swimming pools etc. is prohibited.

This mandatory restriction is not a boil water notice. The City will provide an update once this restriction has been lifted.
