Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and Virginia’s water utilities play a critical role in community safety and resilience. Even storms that don’t make landfall in Virginia can bring heavy rainfall, flooding, power outages, and supply chain disruptions that affect water operations.
Now is the time for all waterworks to review and update emergency plans, confirm staffing and communication procedures, and ensure that backup power systems and chemical supplies are ready.
