WAPA RACES TO FIX UNIT 27: Saturday repair bid as St. Thomas and St. John face months without backup power

The Water and Power Authority anticipated installing a replacement part Saturday to return Unit 27 to service, aiming to ease power outages affecting St. Thomas and St. John.

However, utility leaders cautioned that backup power capacity will remain limited for months to come, suggesting that even with the repair, residents and businesses across the two islands may continue to face service disruptions.
