Potable water service to several areas on St. Croix will be affected on Wednesday while WAPA's water distribution crews make repairs to a leaking 12” water main in the Red Brick Housing Community, WAPA said Tuesday afternoon. Work will begin at 8:30 a.m. and should be completed by 2:30 pm.
The Consortium on Monday contacted the utility after hearing from a concerned resident, who told the publication that low water pressure was affecting WAPA customers in Red Brick and Water Gut.
According to WAPA, while repair work is underway, various areas of the island will experience either low water pressure or no water service including: Lew Muckle Elementary School, Word of Life School in Estate Work & Rest, Richmond, LBG Gardens, Friendensthal, Contentment, Hermon Hill, Beeston Hill, Aldersville, Questa Verde, Catherine’s Rest, Work & Rest, Humbug, and Tamarind.
Water Distribution crews will make every effort to minimize the duration of Wednesday’s service interruption.
