HANNAH HILL, Tortola, VI- Former Speaker of the House of Assembly and District 3 Representative aspirant, Mr Julian Willock has publicly thanked the government for the refurbishment of the Hannah Hill Reservoir.

Mr Willock, although a staunch VIP supporter, has consistently lobbied the government to address major issues facing his district and the rest of the territory.

“After years of my committee and I pounding the pavement for the restoration of the Hannah Hill Reservoir, today, it’s finally fixed. I must commend the Hon Julian Fraser, the Deputy Premier and my representative and the Minister for Communications and Works, the Hon Kye Rymer, who promised us that they would fix the leaking reservoir, and they have kept their word," Mr Willock said while visiting the plant on October 3, 2026. 

With the Hannah Hill Reservoir now operational again, Willock said it is additional water storage for the district, so the residents will be able to receive water. 

The valves at the Hannah Hill Reservoir were opened on October 2, 2026, following weeks of rehabilitation and testing.  

'We will not stop until...'

Though he expressed gratitude for this major development, Mr Willock said he, along with his District 3 Committee, will continue its advocacy for the government to do more.

“We will continue, my committee and I, to ensure that we keep on this administration to continue fixing the water infrastructure, fixing our roads; not only the main roads but the secondary roads.”

The Virgin Islands Party government, he revealed, promised to construct another water plant in District 3, but said the district would also like a sewerage treatment plant there. 

“So like the Seventh and Eighth Districts, we can start hooking up.”

Willock promised to continue pounding the pavement for the people of District 3 to ensure that the quality of life improves. 

“We will not stop until all people enjoy the basic necessities- water, good roads, general infrastructure. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a champion in me, and we will continue to fight for our people. That’s why we always say. ‘With Willock, we win’.”

    The Right Honorable J. Willock for Premier. Don't bother with the noise in the market, you're a born leader.

    Sewerage station calls for digging up the road again from A-Z. There's a saying, measure twice cut ✂️ once.

    Fixing the reservoir is one thing, the consistent flow of water is what we now require. Water on ONCE a day, for at least TWO hours, then when I come home late or in the wee hours of the morning, no water. Don't celebrate just yet. Other reservoirs to go, and in the meantime they should already be working on getting that flow system (consistent) up and ready to go. Ah boy!

    Where is the voice of our now representitive Mr. Fraser. We have not heard anything about him not running. If Willock is running to replace him, out of respect Fraser should come out and make a statement. Stop putting the cart before the horse. If it not so, then the race is between Fraser, Willock, Aron, The PLM guy.

    Is we get constant water 24/7 down SCB and the constant running of water down elevator hill. You mean no one on this Island knows how to correct the elevator hill problem? I avoid elevator hill because I am afraid that all that slime and moss build up from the constant running water is going to cause my vehicle to slide off the road especially at night.

    Then you will never stop, so you got that right, because water problems are here to stay. The water pipes are broken in a lot of places.
