The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) is cautioning customers in regions typically affected by high turbidity from the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant about possible disruptions to their water supply. This warning is in light of the ongoing heavy rainfall, which is expected to adversely impact the quality of water in the source streams. Consequently, this could pose challenges in treating and supplying water.
WAF anticipates a decrease in water production at the Tamavua treatment plant due to these conditions. Areas that may experience interruptions include:
– Mika Drue Place and Pathik Crescent
– Mead Road, Volavola Road, Evetts Place, and Top Shop Road
– Elevated locations along Lakha Singh Road and Sakoca Road
– Elevated regions along Tacirua Road, including Raibevu Road and Tacirua Heights
– MH Superfresh and Upper Mead Road, along with Princes Road from Twomey Hospital to Loa Street Junction
– Princes Road from Joes Farm to Sawani Service Station
– Upper Delanivesi Areas, Upper Lami Village Road, Kalekana Settlement Road, and Muaivuso Village
WAF teams are diligently monitoring the situation and are committed to managing production levels to minimize the impact on residents’ water supply.
In light of these challenges, it is essential for the community to prepare accordingly and stay informed. Access to clean water is vital, and the efforts of the WAF to adapt to changing weather conditions reflect a commitment to public service. The proactive measures taken by the authority aim to ensure that while disruptions may occur, the impact is kept to a minimum.
Summary: The Water Authority of Fiji warns of possible water supply disruptions in several areas due to heavy rain affecting water quality at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant. Areas likely to be impacted include Mika Drue Place, Mead Road, and various elevated locations. WAF teams are working to manage the situation and reduce disruptions as much as possible.
This situation encourages residents to stay informed and proactive in conserving water during potential supply limitations.
