Acting Public Works Commissioner Harold G. Thompson Jr. announces that the new St. John Waste Water Treatment Plant will be in operation later this year.
Thompson said "this means that for the first time in many years the Government of the VirginIslands will be able to offer full waste water and sewage services to the majority of Cruz Bay residents."
Existing lines are located within the downtown Cruz Bay area, Estates Contant Enighed (Cactus Hill), Bethany (Power Boyd Plantation), Enighed (Pine Peace), Gallows Point and portions of Estate Contant.
Residents can obtain an application for connection from the St. John Public Works Office in Susannaberg.
Thompson also advises those with construction plans, which has been delayed due to the current moratorium, to resubmit those plans.
Thompson said he will keep the community abreast on the development of the final plans.
