Henrico County Government announced on September 29, 2025, that a standard test will be conducted as part of a planned capital improvement project by the City of Richmond. The project involves relocating a critical water main in the fall, which connects to water distribution systems in both Henrico and Hanover counties.
In its statement, Henrico County Government said, “This test is a standard part of a planned capital improvement project by the City of Richmond that will involve relocating the critical water main in the fall. The main connects to water distribution systems in both Henrico and Hanover counties.” The county also addressed potential impacts for residents: “No interruptions in water service are expected, but some residents in the North Side, Scott’s Addition, Chamberlayne, Richmond Raceway, Highland Park and Mechanicsville areas may notice lower-than-normal water pressure as utility teams monitor the system and make adjustments.” According to another post from the same date, “The tests will run from approximately 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.”
Henrico County is home to one public school district—Henrico County Public Schools—which enrolled over 50,000 students during the 2023-24 academic year (source).
