The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) has announced that customers in areas typically affected by high turbidity near the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant should prepare for possible interruptions to their water supply. This advisory comes in light of heavy rainfall, which is likely to impact the water quality in the source streams, complicating the water treatment process and potentially reducing production at the Tamavua WTP.

– Namadi Heights: Particularly Mika Drue Place and Pathik Crescent.
– Bayview Heights: This includes Mead Road, Volavola Road, Evetts Place, and several others.
– Sakoca Areas: Elevated regions along Lakha Singh Road and associated streets.
– Tacirua: Elevated areas along Tacirua Road and surrounding roads.
– Tamavua: Specific locations including MH Superfresh, Princes Road extending from Twomey Hospital to Loa Street Junction, and several others in the vicinity.
– Dokanaisuva: Areas along Princes Road from Savutalele to Khalsa Road Junction.
– Coloisuva: Encompassing locations from Joes Farm to Sawani Service Station and including several key roads and establishments.
– Lami Area: Covering upper regions of Lami Village Road and adjacent areas.
WAF apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciates the understanding of residents as they focus on ensuring water safety.
To help mitigate the impact of potential shortages, WAF encourages customers to:
– Store a sufficient amount of water for essential needs.
– Reduce non-essential water usage.
– Keep stored water clean and covered.
WAF is actively monitoring the situation and is committed to restoring normal water supply as soon as conditions improve. For updates or assistance, customers can contact WAF at 3346777 or 5777 (accessible via all mobile networks) or via email at contact@waf.com.fj.
