The Cabinet has granted approval for the partial surrender of the Colo-i-Suva Forestry Reserve lease, facilitating the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) in upgrading its infrastructure. This significant upgrade will take place along the corridor from Sawani to Colo-i-Suva, with the primary goal of improving water service delivery and increasing capacity for the communities situated between Sawani and Tacirua.
As part of this initiative, WAF plans to utilize a section of the forest reserve adjacent to its existing Colo-i-Suva reservoir to expand its facilities, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing water supply in the region. However, specific details concerning the size of the land being surrendered and the timeline for the commencement of the WAF project remain undisclosed at this time.
This development signifies an important step towards bolstering the infrastructure that supports vital water services, thereby promoting sustainability and improved living conditions for the local populace.
