Episode notes
Richmond is out of water again — right as temperatures soar over 100 degrees and Independence Day weekend begins. In this urgent update from Virginia Insider, Uriah Kiser breaks down the latest water main break that dropped pressure across the city and affected parts of Henrico County, just months after the major winter 2025 crisis.
Temporary repairs restored some service, but full fixes could take weeks. The timing couldn't be worse: record heat, a canceled 4th of July fireworks display at Bird Park, and frustrated residents heading into America's 250th anniversary celebrations.
Uriah reports live from the Northern Neck, highlighting how this Democrat-led city continues to struggle with basic infrastructure while Virginians swelter.
