BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI- Word reaching our News Centre from senior sources in the Government’s Human Resources Department is that former Flow Executive Lyndon A. Hodge has been appointed the Director of the Water and Sewerage Department.

It is believed the appointment took effect today, September 1, 2026, and Mr  Hodge, a Virgin Islander, is already on the job. Mr Hodge holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of the Virgin Islands and a postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration from the University of Roehampton.

Mr Hodge spent many years in senior roles in the Telecommunications Sector, including Caribbean Cellular Telephone (CCT) and Cable & Wireless Flow BVI, where he rose to Acting Chief Executive Officer. In those roles, he managed people and projects and had financial growth under his tenure, according to information obtained from online sources.  

Hodge In! Alphonso Out!

With the merging of the Water and Sewerage Department with the BVI Electricity Corporation (VIEWCo), it is unclear what the Director’s full role is in the new structure.

Mr Hodge comes at a time when there are many communities without water, and the government struggles to fix the ageing infrastructure, including pipes, reservoirs and pumps.  

He takes over from the Acting Director, Mr Von Alphonso, who is expected to revert to the Deputy Director post, according to the same Human Resources Officials.

Neither the Minister for Communications and Works, Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5), nor Permanent Secretary Elvia Smith-Maduro responded to our request for their comment.

    But he has no experience in the field. They should have appointed an engineer which is what it is lacking for the past 20 years.

    Von has a lot of knowledge on our Water and Sewerage network, it is a big loss for the BVI.

    And considering how well (and expensive) our telecom system is, hold on your wallets!!

    So, no one with an engineering degree applied?

    2 or 3 years later, the post will be advertised again because they moved him or he moved out himself.

    When is the Minister of works going to dome and find out what is happening with then Palestina to Havers stretch of work. The whole stretch of work is being pave all the way to west End except this area. The bust is killing us. A little rain fell and the area by Norman Island Dock is impassible. When are they going to cut a drain along the wall out to the sea and get the road paved. There is no rocket science to this thing. If they cannot see they need a drain then what is the purpose of the ministry of works. The Deputy minister and representative for the area could not care less and he live half a mile away. He never drive down there. He always just make a Left turn to come town never a RT turn to seek about conditions affecting the residents.

    You telling me you just merged water and sewage and electricity, and now you're hiring a director. Should we have looked at what both departments would have needed? I don't think a director is needed at this time. Sooo, is he reporting to Neil Smith? What is this? The government takes us for a joke!

      Same thing I am thinking here. Is it going to be one entity with two directors? If so what is the purpose of the merger?

    The last time I check Von had an engineer degree, public service experience for year and the practical knowledge to boot! What happen here? He didn’t apply or is because he don’t kiss &@** and do as told. One of these days qualified BVI islanders with relevant experience and background will be able to make a difference in our society and be allowed to do their job at the best of their ability for the betterment of the country without having to please a minister who themselves don’t have the experience or qualifications to direct them. (I know that’s a run on sentence!)
