The City of Richmond, VA, has issued a boil water advisory along with a map of affected areas and timeline. On the evening of May 27, 2025, the city wrote in a statement that the "two zones impacted by the Boil Water Advisory have returned to a safe pressure," and noted, "The Department of Public Utilities took the first water samples from both zones around 7 p.m. Those results will come back in approximately 24 hours." Lifting the Boil Water Advisory "requires two negative tests taken 16 hours apart; we plan to pull the second set of samples around noon on Wednesday, May 28. That set of results will also come back in approximately 24 hours," The city noted: "In the meantime, Boil Water Advisories remain in effect for residents in the neighborhoods highlighted on this map."

It was then expanded "to parts of South Richmond," Axios reported. "This advisory comes after the City's Water Treatment Plant experienced an operational issue in the early morning hours on Tuesday, May 27, and after the water system had been restored to full production.

At 6:44 p.m. on May 27, the city wrote, "The City of Richmond, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Health, has expanded the localized Boil Water Advisory immediately and until further notice.

James River Church leaves Assemblies of God
OZARK, MO – The largest Assemblies of God church in Missouri has severed formal ties with its denomination. On Wednesday evening, James River Church announced that its Board of Trustees had decided to leave the Springfield-based Assemblies of God organization. In a media statement, the church explained, 'We are thankful for the Assemblies of God, and we intend to continue partnering with the Assemblies of God in a variety of ways – including our continued support of missionaries and missions efforts to take the Gospel around the world. In addition, the announcement stated, 'James River Church is not changing its doctrine, and the church remains committed to preaching the Bible and impacting the local community and the world for the cause of Christ.' The release did not provide a reason for the church breaking ties with the Assemblies of God. James River Church was founded in 1991 as James River Assembly of God. The church quickly outgrew its original home in a south Springfield shopping center and moved into a new campus on S. Southwood Avenue. The congregation then built and moved into a new multi-million dollar facility in north Ozark. The church, which has grown to become one of the largest churches in the country, has expanded to include several satellite campuses in the Springfield area and one in Joplin. According to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, nearly 9,000 people attend the Ozark campus alone each week, making it the largest congregation in the state. Several years ago, James River dropped the 'Assembly' from its name and replaced it with 'Church.' The move was in line with the trend of many congregations dropping denominational names in hopes of appealing to the public. Despite the change, James River retained its full affiliation with the Assemblies. This is a developing story. Ozarks First will update this story when additional details become available.
