The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) has announced that customers residing in areas typically affected by high turbidity at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant (WTP) should prepare for possible interruptions in their water supply. The recent heavy rainfall is expected to significantly impact water quality in the source streams, complicating the water treatment process and potentially leading to reduced water production at the Tamavua WTP.

– **Namadi Heights**: Mika Drue Place and Pathik Crescent.
– **Bayview Heights**: Mead Road and surrounding roads including Volavola Road and Joyce Perks Street.
– **Sakoca Areas**: Elevated locations along Lakha Singh Road, including Sakoca Road and Raikiwai Road.
– **Tacirua**: Elevated areas along Tacirua Road including Raisuluwaki Road and Nakoivalu Road.
– **Tamavua**: Including MH Superfresh, Upper Mead Road, and various other streets in the area.
– **Dokanaisuusva**: Along Princes Road, covering Jeremiah College and nearby settlement roads.
– **Coloisuva**: From Joes Farm to Sawani Service Station and surrounding roads.
– **Lami Area**: Upper Delanivesi Areas and various roads in the vicinity.

WAF extends its apologies for any inconvenience caused to customers and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the health and safety of the water supply. To help mitigate the impact of these disruptions, customers are advised to:

– Immediately store enough water for essential needs.
– Limit non-essential water usage during this period.
– Keep stored water clean and well-covered.

The WAF remains committed to recovering full supply levels as conditions improve and is actively monitoring the situation. For further updates or assistance, customers can contact WAF through their helpline or email.

This situation underscores the importance of community preparedness and resilience in the face of adverse weather conditions. By taking proactive measures and heeding WAF’s advice, residents can help ensure that their essential needs are met while the water supply challenges are addressed.
