Alert: Sewer Line Fails Near Lagoon Street Pump Station

Sept. 13, 2006 — The V.I. Waste Management Authority advises residents of Frederiksted that the Lagoon Street pump station sewer force main line east of St. Patrick's School playground has failed, according to a release issued Wednesday.
The WMA has tasked one of its emergency contractors to repair portions of the impacted line and return it to full service.
The release also notes that recent rains are slowing repairs and impeding the use of heavy equipment in the area.
The repairs are expected to be completed within 72 hours.
Residents with impacted immune systems should avoid Frederiksted Beach and adjacent areas.
