U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (“WAPA” or “Authority”) would like to notify the public that technicians from the Davey Resource Group, a subcontractor for the ongoing Geographic Information Systems Inventory project, will be visiting all the Authority’s Transmission and Distribution assets including WAPA poles, customer meters, and padmount equipment on St. Croix.  From September 17th through September 30th, 2023, Davey crews will be working along sections of the following Feeders: 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A.  Geographic Information Systems (GIS) will aid in assessments for disaster recovery, accelerate response time to system problems, offer asset tracking, load monitoring, and system analysis. 

The Davey Resource Group technicians will be using tablets, GPS equipment and other devices during the field inventory and can be identified by their WAPA Contractor ID badges, safety vests, and a Letter of Authority (available upon request).  All residents, business owners, and local authorities are asked to provide full cooperation during the inventory project. 

Any questions concerning the project may be directed to Ambi Blyden, Interim Planning and Design Manager at 340-774-3552 extension 2270, or ambi.blyden@viwapa.vi.  The Authority thanks the community for its understanding, as we work to enhance our capabilities to provide quality service.
