Another week, another story about a community with horrific looking water.

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

SOS! Water that looks like it came from a swamp, not a treatment plant. While the gov shuts down, here's what the PEOPLE have to drink. #beaverCountyPA #truthunfiltered https://t.co/sPCvRQUk8y

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

Never not talking about water. No one's coming to save us! Brain-eating amoebas, say what?
Thanks to my co-host @SuzanneWriting for joining me on these chats. #truthunfiltered Join us over at The Brockovich Report. #legionnairesdisease

Here we go again, #RVA. Hot sewage summer! Get ready.

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

Breaking: 1 M gallons of untreated sewage has spilled into the James River after a power outage occurred at the city’s wastewater treatment plant, resulting in ongoing discharge. https://t.co/3PQS4xwk8R

@laurenvillagran @USATODAY Devastating topic, but beautiful writing and important reporting.

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@rvaFlipsRed @RichmonderNews It's literally what I do every week!

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

Every time a #watercrisis happens, my phone blows up with texts asking my opinion. Thanks to @RichmonderNews for the coverage! And hope the boil-water advisory is lifted today in #RVA.

‘Brockovich Report’ editor unsurprised by Richmond’s water woes

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@rvaFlipsRed @RichmonderNews Talk to people in Flint, Mich. or Martin County, Ky, about whether they trust their tap water. When people don't trust their tap water, they go to bottled water which is not great for many reasons. https://t.co/1QmuCG2yKx But thanks for your kind comments :)

@CityRichmondVA Person who writes about water issues here. 👋 "Excessive sediment" does not build up overnight. We need more info from the water operator. What's going on? Infrastructure failures? Treatment issues? Virginia Health Dep. said Jan crisis was avoidable. This one was too.

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@sabrinaamorenoo Thanks for your coverage!

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@sabrinaamorenoo That "sediment spike" did not happen overnight. Also let's not forget the DPU is asking for a 5.75% increase in water rates in the upcoming fiscal year. T

@rmc031 WTF?!

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@SamuelParkerRTD Yep. Not surprised! And also not unique to Richmond. This "kicking the can down the line" is happening throughout the country in large and small cities.

The mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment.

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

Americans should have access to low-cost, reliable energy. Through @POTUS ' leadership, the EPA will unleash American energy and roll back damaging regulations so that we can Make America Energy Dominant Again.

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@Lynda_Research Sorry to hear it! It's such a frustrating situation. We woke up to no water again here in Carytown.

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

On the #watercrisis in #RVA Richmond, Va: Call it what it is: a crisis. It's not a water boil advisory, when people suddenly having no water at the tap. It's an outage. Next, communicate! Tell people exactly what's going on. Tweet & text often. Have a water crisis plan & test it.

[Suzanne Boothby @SuzanneWriting]

@BreRVA Nope!
