(St. Croix, USVI) - The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) would like to inform the community that a force main break occurred at the Lagoon Street Pump Station at approximately 9:15 a.m. Sunday, January 19, 2025. The pump station has been temporarily taken offline as repair preparations begin. The replacement of the damaged force main is anticipated to be completed by this weekend.
