Anyone know/have a copy of the feeder map for WAPA?

Here's an article which lists the areas served by each STX feeder, but no map:
"WAPA Electrical Feeders - St. Croix"

Here is a map of STX, but no feeders:

Your feeder number is on your bill, up near the top, I think. We're on feeder 6 and still no power, 8:45 am Wednesday.

We're on Feeder 6, in Salt River STX, and power has been on most of the time. The outages seems to localized. Eg: Some of our neighbors by the Salt River Marina have no power, and there's a power line dangling on the roadway there.

Fiona is right on our doorstep and trying to ramp up this morning. Strong shear is forecast to beat her up later today so it's still a crap shoot as to what, if anything, we'll see from her.

It doens't look like Fiona is coming anywhere near us. It's already made it's turn for the north. But the next one looks interesting.

Wapa dead in Frenchmans bay.
Wapa said it was BC of the tree near Havensite, but that is all clear & the line is hung.

I saw Wapa working on the leaning pole between Marriot & Antillies, don't know why power is still out.
Generator working great, but costs around $1/hr. to run (I'm running 24 hrs. w/ 4 hours off).
Wish I had my inverter going, I could 1/2 the gen run time!(the shoemaker needs shoes).
I heard lots of boats on Water Island, but haven't been there myself yet.
My Cable, WAPA, telephone(although DSL working sketchy) & AT&T not working.
The At&T works fine @ Havensite.

This brings back memories of when a running generator is actually soothing!
One more day & I'm buying a new inverter from stock!
