*Environmental Issues
last year when we dwere down in July there was a sewer break of some sort and the beach at Secret Harbor was closed by a Federal agency because of the water quality for a number of days. Have there been any additonal problems since then?

The beaches on all three islands almost always pass DPNR's weekly water quality testing and are deemed safe for swimming. The only beaches that don't pass on occasion are on St. Croix, but it's been a while since any didn't pass the test.

Hello,

DPNR's Division of Environmental Protection publishes their weekly
beach water quality report on their website. You can view it at http://www.dpnr.gov.vi/content/beach_warnings.htm.
