The drought is over and our regional cup runeth over. For now.
The Richmond area lifted mandatory water restrictions today, three months after a drought prompted emergency conservation measures around the region.
The restrictions end immediately in Richmond and the counties of Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover and Goochland. The restrictions had limited when people could water their lawns and wash their vehicles.
