Harry’s CEO, Natalie McNamara, speaks on Richmond’s Second Water Crisis
Earlier this week, Natalie McNamara, CEO of Harry’s at Hofheimer, appeared on CBS6 News to discuss Richmond’s second water crisis in just six months. McNamara shared that she first learned about the water advisory from her staff, not from the city itself—highlighting her frustration with the lack of communication from local officials.
“Everybody I’ve talked to today is in absolute jaw-dropping awe that this has happened again, and it’s really frustrating,”
She emphasized how deeply water issues impact restaurants across the city, pointing out that inconsistent and delayed communication can disrupt operations, revenue, and employee livelihoods.
