The recent breaks in county water pipes are largely attributed to the broader water crisis affecting the area, which stemmed from a power outage at Richmond’s water treatment plant. Rapid changes in water pressure and stress on older pipes, particularly during cold temperatures, led to a significant number of breaks across the county impacting traffic and some residents.
