U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS (January 13, 2025) – The Virgin Islands Water & Power Authority (“WAPA” or “Authority”) would like to inform the public about upcoming soil boring activities as part of the Northside Waterline Replacement Project. These activities, conducted by Jaca & Sierra Engineering on behalf of the Authority, are essential for evaluating the current water system and designing a more efficient replacement.
Soil borings will be carried out along the Northside Highway, as well as in the Mon Bijou-Glynn, Richmond-La Grande Princesse, and Contentment-Richmond area. This process will collect critical data to support the replacement of the existing waterline system in these areas.
The soil boring process is non-invasive, will occur within the Department of Public Works’ right-of-way, and will not impact private property. These activities are anticipated to continue through March 2025.
The Authority is committed to improving infrastructure and providing reliable services to the community. Further updates on this project will be shared as work progresses.
