[TexasTowelie]

CHARLOTTE AMALIE — The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority admitted on Facebook this morning that a “major” power outage is affecting its customers in St. Thomas and St. John this morning.

“The interruption occurred at 9:35 a.m. when two generating units at the Randolph Harley Power Plant tripped off-line,” WAPA said. “Plant personnel are working to rebuild generation capacity in order to restore service to the affected customers.”

WAPA said its Water Distribution crews are also “mobilizing to begin repairs to a major leak on the 24-inch main that runs along the St. Thomas waterfront.”

WAPA said its “leaking line will be isolated to facilitate repairs and rerouting of service will take place to minimize the impact on customers.” according to the authority.
