The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority said on Jan. 9, 2020, that it would launch the second phase of the Frederiksted Waterline Rehabilitation Project with a public announcement ceremony on Jan. 10 at 10 a.m. at Verne I. Richards Memorial Park in Frederiksted.
WAPA said the phase was backed by an approximately $4 million grant and would include replacement of about 13,000 feet of six-inch water lines and about 2,900 feet of 10-inch water lines in Frederiksted.
Leumas Engineering was scheduled to begin work on Feb. 10, 2020, with completion expected by Oct. 1, 2020.
WAPA said the first phase had replaced water lines on Strand Street, King Cross Street, Fisher Street and part of New Street.
