Governor Albert Bryan Jr. is extending the State of Emergency, and the stay-at-home order. The closure of non-essential businesses territory-wide and limiting restaurants to take-out and pick-up orders only, through April 30 is an attempt to further efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The Water and Power Authority (WAPA) says they won’t disconnect delinquent electrical and potable water service accounts for the duration of the COVID-19 state of emergency. Customers have received a sixty-day bill this month as the Authority catches up on its billing. Although WAPA will not disconnect for nonpayment during this emergency period, customers who can pay their bills are encouraged to do so.
