The water systems in the Virgin Islands are operated by schools, condos, hotels, nursing homes, apartments, and other businesses. Providing water is not the primary function of the organization, but the water system can have a big impact on the organization’s budget.

You are invited to a gathering of water systems here on St. Croix on June 12, 2018, from 9am to noon, at the Albert A. Sheen Campus of the University of the Virgin Islands. This is an opportunity to meet your fellow water systems on island. We will have representatives from funding programs on hand to discuss how they can fund water system capital improvements. We will also discuss ways that water systems on island can approach common problems collectively, including disaster recovery.
