The Order was issued for the purpose of protecting the health of persons on Saint John, Saint Thomas, and Saint Croix (referred to as the U.S. Virgin Islands or USVI ). Due to the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on the public drinking water supply of the USVI, conditions exist that may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health. Respondents are authorized to provide water for human consumption to the public in the USVI through emergency temporary water treatment systems (Emergency Systems).
