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. Thomas on August 9, 2017 at the Small Business Development Center from 9 to noon. You will learn about how other drinking water systems on the island finance and manage their operations. This will also be an opportunity for you to meet your fellow water systems. In addition, representatives from water funding programs will be on hand to discuss their offerings and answer your questions. Refreshments will be provided.
