By Saturday, all tanks will be in place at the propane storage terminal atop Grambakola Hill overlooking the power plant,&#8221; WAPA Executive Director Hugo Hodge said Thursday. He added that the two tanks will proceed along the usual route from the Crown Bay Homeport dock to the storage terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Hodge said that on both Wednesday and today, tanks have been transported to the propane terminal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are fortunate that along the winding route, we have not encountered any major problems,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hodge cautioned\u00a0that beginning on Saturday, some road closures along the route will be in effect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once the final tanks have been installed, we will begin the process of restoring the roadways to the condition we found them. There were some signs removed, metal plates placed to solidify weak spots, islands and meridians removed. We want to restore all the facilities as we found them,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hodge encouraged\u00a0motorists traversing the Sub Base area on Friday and Saturday to pay attention to both road signs and flagmen that will be along the route with updates on traffic flow and restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This has been a good week for WAPA. We dedicated our new solar plant in Donoe, we are moving towards wrapping up the movement of the propane storage tanks on St. Thomas, and we had a good board meeting today, which saw some key approvals needed for time-sensitive projects ongoing at the Authority in both island districts,&#8221; Hodge said Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final two propane conversion tanks, a total of 10, to be used in the St. Thomas-St. John District are being transported to their positions at the storage terminal on St. Thomas today, the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) has announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[191,147],"tags":[1260],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Final Two STT-STJ District Propane Tanks Transported Friday, Road Closures Saturday - V.I.
