Here’s what we know.

WAPA say Unit 27 supposed to come back by Monday evening. Tonight! Supposed to. So right now, the whole of Rock/Love City basically in a relationship with one machine and a prayer.

Let me break this down simply.

If Unit 27 come online like they saying, and the other them units hold the strain, deh rotational outages in St. Thomas and St. John could ease up. That’s deh good news.

Now here come deh island part.

Until that thing actually come on, stay on, and stop playing dead, people still gotta deal with scheduled outages, unscheduled outages, and dem special surprise outages does show up like uninvited family who say they only stopping by for two minutes.

So no, this is not “problem solved.”
This is “problem maybe considering behaving itself by this evening.”

They also still checking on Unit 15, but all eyes on 27 right now, because apparently one unit carrying more hope than half deh government promises put together.

And just to season deh situation proper, downtown Charlotte Amalie still dealing with spotty water service too. So some people can’t trust deh current, and some can’t trust deh pipe. Real deluxe infrastructure experience.

At the end of the day, WAPA saying relief might be close, but in Virgin Islands language, we know better than to celebrate off of target time. We waiting for proof. Not press release proof. Not “crews working diligently” proof. Real proof.

Light on.
Fan spinning.
Fridge humming.
Then we could talk.
