The V.I. Waste Management Authority advises St. Croix residents and visitors that some Christiansted beaches have been closed until further notice.
On Tuesday, while performing repair work to a sewer line along the Krause Lagoon Interceptor, the LBJ Pump Station was taken offline temporarily. This allowed for the replacement of a portion of sewer line in the area behind the Department of Public Works in Anna’s Hope. While the LBJ Pump Station was offline, wastewater was discharged into the coastal interceptor causing the beaches along “Condo Row” to be closed for public use. The repairs were made to the impacted line and the LBJ Pump Station was placed back online on Tuesday evening.
Christiansted beaches in the “Condo Row” area will remain closed until the water quality is tested by VIWMA.
