PETERSBURG, Va. -- After multiple water line breaks in Petersburg, officials issued mandatory water restrictions Friday afternoon.
"Public Utilities Crews are currently responding and are expected to work through the evening to repair the breaks," officials said in a news release.
Officials said customers should restrict water usage to only purposes that "maintain the public health, safety and welfare of human and animal life."
The restriction was lifted Saturday morning after crews completed water line repairs.
The restriction came after several water main breaks in the city promoted boil water advisories across the city earlier this month.
