As we live and work with COVID-19, the operations of the Public Service will continue. In order to better serve our clients safely, The Water and Sewerage Department (WSD) at Baughers Bay, Tortola, will temporarily adjust our services that can be provided to our customers.

All persons, vaccinated or unvaccinated who were exposed at the listed events or places are advised to get tested at the following testing sites on the designated days.

Today as we celebrate Virgin Islands Day, I wish to extend greetings to everyone in these beautiful islands and to those joining us by radio and other social media platforms throughout the world.

In the Virgin Islands, as we have turned the page into the new month of July, it would appear that we have turned to a new page in our experience as a Territory, battling this dreaded COVID-19 disease.  No doubt the reports and statistics have affected the general mood in these islands and have been a concerning one for most, if not all of us.
