City of Petersburg Extends 

Mandatory Water Usage Restriction

Petersburg, Virginia:  Petersburg Public Utilities issues a Mandatory Water Usage Restriction due to a repair at the main water line into the City. The City will utilize mutual aid agreements to ensure adequate water supply to South Side Regional Medical Center and the Petersburg Fire Department.  

The Utilities Department anticipates the repair will be completed by midnight.    

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.
