The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) has issued a call to action for residents to conserve and store water as a precautionary measure. While the reservoir levels at the Tamavua facility are stable for now, the recent spate of heavy rainfall has caused increased turbidity in key water sources including Savura, Headworks 3, and Waimanu Pump Station. WAF has issued a warning that ongoing rainfall could disrupt operations at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant, leading to potential impacts on water production and reservoir levels.
In light of this, WAF’s teams are actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates to the community as needed. Residents are advised to prepare for possible low water pressure or intermittent supply issues should inclement weather persist.
This situation echoes past alerts regarding turbidity problems stemming from heavy rainfall, which have similarly encouraged community preparedness. WAF remains focused on public health and the reliability of water services, urging residents to follow guidelines for water storage and management to ease any inconveniences during adverse weather.
With a strong emphasis on collaboration and compliance from the community, there is hope for a swift resolution and restoration to normal water supply levels as conditions improve. The proactive measures being taken by WAF demonstrate their commitment to ensuring public health and service continuity during challenging weather conditions.
