The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority advises the community that the LBJ Pump Station on St. Croix is temporarily offline due to mechanical problems, which caused manholes near the Christiansted Harbor to overflow.
The VIWMA’s staff, along with the V.I. Fire Service and the Health Department, is working diligently to bring the station back online and mitigate cleanup efforts as soon as possible.
Motorists and pedestrians are advised to avoid any standing water in the area.
