Henrico sewer breaks send 1.4M gallons of sewage into creek

Remediation efforts are underway in Henrico after three recent sewer main breaks dumped 1.4 million gallons of sewage into Gillies Creek, which flows into the James. Why it matters: For once, it wasn't Richmond . State of play: The trio of leaks happened Oct. 23 and 26 near Kemp Avenue in eastern Henrico, where crews found two holes in a sewer pipe — one the size of a golf ball — per the county's report . Henrico said impacts were minimal and repairs are complete, but the county is urging people to avoid recreational water activities in the affected area, including where the creek flows into the James. Flashback: Sewage leaks aren't new in RVA, but usually it's the city — not the counties — battling muck that's flowing into waterways. Richmond has spent decades battling sewage overflows from its aging sewer system, including a 2024 pipe leak that prompted a no-swimming advisory for the James . What's next: Henrico says it'll conduct regular creek inspections for the next few weeks while investigating what caused the breaks.

Richmond's Halloween candy divide: Too many kids or too few

Some Richmond-area residents are buying less candy this Halloween or rationing treats. Others are stocking up on more than 1,000 pieces. Why it matters: Candy prices are soaring, and how much Richmonders need to buy depends a lot on where they live, Axios' reader survey found. By the numbers: More than a third of the 182 survey respondents said they're buying less candy, switching to cheaper brands or giving out fewer pieces per kid. Another 45% said rising prices aren't affecting their Halloween plans. Nearly two-thirds expected to spend $50 or less on candy this year, while a quarter budgeted $51 to $100. And of the four respondents who plan to spend more than $200, three live in Richmond. The intrigue: One Henrico resident said they're buying two-thirds of their usual amount and swapping some chocolate for cheaper fruit snacks, while a Chesterfield resident switched from full-size candy bars to fun-size treats. Zoom out: Halloween candy prices at major retailers have jumped 71% since 2021, with a 100-piece bag averaging nearly $17, per a FinanceBuzz analysis. The big picture: With Halloween falling on Saturday, some residents are stocking up for bigger crowds, while others are wondering whether anyone will show
