PETERSBURG, Va. — As Petersburg crews work to repair a water main valve in the Walnut Hill, those living along Beauregard Avenue were urged to boil their water once it returns.
"As a safety precaution, boil tap water or use bottled water for drinking and cooking," an alert from the city read. "This precaution is necessary because a water main repair resulted in a loss of pressure."
The water outage impacts about 94 homes.

- 1900-2012 Burks St.
- 410-422 Greenwood Ave., between Coggin St. and Beauregard Ave.
