The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) has alerted customers in the Central Eastern Division about rising turbidity levels in key water sources, including Savura, Headworks 3, and Waimanu Pump Station. This situation may lead to operational challenges at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant, potentially affecting its production capabilities.
Currently, reservoir levels at Tamavua are stable, and customers continue to receive their typical water supply. However, WAF is advising residents to store water and use it wisely as a precaution. The authority is closely monitoring the situation and has noted that should heavy rainfall persist, it may lead to low water pressure or intermittent supply issues due to reduced production rates at the treatment plant.
The notice echoes previous warnings about similar turbidity issues that arise during heavy rainfall, which have directed community efforts toward preparedness and conservation. WAF’s proactive communication highlights their commitment to public health and service reliability during challenging weather conditions.
As residents navigated through previous adverse conditions, staying informed and prepared has proven essential. The dedication of WAF teams in monitoring and managing the water quality and supply ensures that impacts from these natural occurrences are minimized.
With community cooperation and effective communication from WAF, there is hope for a prompt resolution as weather conditions improve. Residents are encouraged to follow WAF’s guidelines on water storage and usage during this period of potential disruption, emphasizing the crucial role of preparedness in sustaining access to clean water for all.
