CHRISTIANSTED — The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) asked motorists to avoid the overflowing manhole in the downtown Christiansted area around the Boardwalk and government parking lot.
Residents with compromised immune systems should avoid standing water in this area near King Cross Street by Holgar Danske Hotel.
Motorists are advised to use an alternate route while VIWMA is actively working with contractors to repair the issue.
“Updates on changes that may affect public health and the environment will be provided,” the VIWMA said. “The VIWMA Preserving Paradise team apologizes for the inconvenience and would like to thank the community for their patience and cooperation.”
