The Virgin Islands Water & Power Authority (WAPA) has resumed water production on St. Croix as of August 30, after confirming conditions at the Richmond intake are suitable. Customers in Christiansted can expect improved water pressure within four to eight hours, while those in Frederiksted may face longer delays due to the distribution network.
WAPA is managing pump capacity deliberately to prevent additional leaks in the aging system. The territory remains under extreme drought, necessitating water conservation measures, such as avoiding non-essential water use and ensuring boiled water for consumption.
A Boil Water Advisory remains in effect. WAPA will continue to monitor water levels and quality through daily testing.
