The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority advises the community that an electrical failure has impacted operations at the Cancryn Pump Station, resulting in a temporary pump outage.
As a result, portions of the downtown sewer system may experience disruptions, including possible manhole overflows. Out of an abundance of caution, VIWMA strongly advises residents, business owners, and pedestrians to avoid contact with any standing water in affected areas.
VIWMA crews are actively responding to the issue and working diligently to restore full operations as quickly and safely as possible. The Authority understands the inconvenience this situation may cause and appreciates the public’s continued patience and cooperation while efforts are underway to implement both immediate and long-term corrective measures.
For additional information or to report related concerns, please contact VIWMA Customer Care at 340-715-9100 or email customer_care@viwma.org or communications@viwma.org.
