Water was starting to trickle back in parts of Richmond as-of early Wednesday morning. That's according to reports on social media (and Karri's faucet). The latest: In a 5am Wednesday update, the city said 12 filters and three pumps were operational — a significant overnight improvement in water production after an electric panel failure Tuesday afternoon delayed the restoration process.

Meanwhile additional bottled water and tanker trucks are being brought in. Avula said members of the Virginia National Guard deployed overnight, bringing tanker trailers and distributing bottled water. Suppliers like Walmart and Amazon have also brought tractor trailers filled with bottled water.
