U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (“WAPA” or “Authority”) is hosting a career fair on the island of St. Thomas for individuals interested in a lineworker career with WAPA. The fair will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2023, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at WAPA’s new line department headquarters located behind Market Square East’s movie theater.
