LBJ PUMP STATION TEMPORARILY OFFLINE

(St. Croix, USVI) - The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) informs the community that the LBJ Pump Station is currently offline due to mechanical issues, resulting in manhole overflows in the Christiansted area.

The VIWMA staff and contractors are working diligently to complete the necessary repairs to restore service.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised to exercise caution, as runoff may contain contaminants or pollutants harmful to human health. Residents should avoid areas with runoff, including gutters, puddles, manholes, and drainage basins, as well as any locations that appear discolored or emit foul odors.
