Alert: Power Interruptions Scheduled on Wednesday and Saturday for Small Sections of St. Croix

The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority advises its electric customers that service to a small section of St. Croix’s Feeder No. 10 will be interrupted from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Wednesday, Aug. 12. Line personnel will replace two broken poles and re-sag three phase lines. The affected area will be in the vicinity of Lorraine Village Apartments.
Another small section of Feeder 10 will experience power interruption from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Saturday, Aug. 15. Line personnel will be connecting the newly run Hendrix Cable to Feeder No. 10 in Estate Annaly. The cable will help to reduce outages caused by contact with tree branches, high winds, and animals or birds. The affected areas will be the Grove Place crusher and five adjacent houses.
Motorists are asked to obey all traffic directions in the work areas. Every effort will be made to restore power as soon as possible.
The Authority appreciates the understanding of its customers during this service enhancement effort.
