WAPA warned against taping electrical outlets after fake social media post
The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority said on April 2, 2024, that a fake social media page had used WAPA’s name and image to promote taping electrical outlets as an April Fools’ Day prank.
WAPA said tampering with electrical outlets could cause electric shock and fires and posed a threat to people and property. The authority urged residents not to engage in or share content promoting the act.
