This service interruption is necessary to complete two critical tie-ins near the Virgin Islands Territorial Public Health Laboratory and the Office of EMS Regulatory in Estate Richmond. The outage is expected to last approximately 6 hours.
Our team will be working in partnership with a contractor to help ensure the work is completed in a timely manner. We are committed to minimizing the inconvenience to affected residents.
As a reminder, after an extended water outage, please flush your water lines by running taps for several minutes. To extend the life of your filter, remove it before flushing and reinstall afterward. This process helps to clear sediment that may have accumulated in the lines and ensures the continued quality of your water.
The Authority appreciates your patience and understanding as we work to enhance the reliability and performance of the water infrastructure serving our community.
