Cancryn Wastewater Pump Fails

The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority advises the community that a pump failure has occurred due to mechanical issues at the Cancryn Bridge, located at the Kronprindsens Gade intersection.

As a result, sewer systems in the downtown area may be impacted, potentially causing manhole overflows. VIWMA strongly advises residents and pedestrians to avoid any standing water in the affected areas as a precautionary measure.

The Authority understands the inconvenience this situation may cause and appreciates the public’s cooperation and continued patience as crews work diligently toward implementing a permanent solution.
