The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority said on Dec. 10, 2025, that temporary repairs at the Richmond station had been completed on Dec. 8, allowing water service to begin returning to Christiansted and Mid-Island late that night and into the morning of Dec. 9.
WAPA said restoration in Frederiksted had been delayed by repairs needed at the Concordia pump station.
The utility said customers in higher-elevation areas including Mars Hill, Concordia, Adventure Hill, Profit and Paradise Mills were expected to see pressure improve after repairs were completed and system inventory levels rebuilt.
Crews were working through pump stations across St. Croix, affecting customers in Louis E. Brown, Kings Hill, Calchaoun, Mon Bijou and Croixville, among other neighborhoods, according to the utility. WAPA said crews were pressurizing the system and flushing hydrants to remove trapped air, protect pipes, reduce leak risks and improve water quality, while also working west toward Frederiksted to clear isolated air pockets that could restrict flow.
WAPA said temporary water discoloration was expected because water had remained stagnant for an extended period.
