A\u00a0<i class=\"\">No Customer Left Behind<\/i>\u00a0telephone hotline number, 340-715-8020, has been established for St. John customers to call. The customer\u2019s information will be collected by a WAPA employee on St. John, and will then be channeled to the appropriate divisions so restoration can be scheduled. The goal is once a customer makes contact with the\u00a0<i class=\"\">No Customer Left Behind\u00a0<\/i>hotline, assuming all documentation is in order, that\u00a0customer will be restored within\u00a072\u00a0hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"\">Self-service payment kiosks are available at the Customer Service offices on St. Croix and St. Thomas during normal business hours, and at Petrus Plaza on St. Thomas, seven days a week, 6 am -11 pm.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"\">Customer Service Offices operate Monday \u2013 Friday, 8 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m. at Sunny Isle on St. Croix, at Port of Sale Mall on St. Thomas, and at The Marketplace on St. John 9 a.m. \u2013 3 p.m.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"\">WAPA is issuing bills for electrical and water service provided prior to September 6.
