⚠️ PUBLIC APPEAL: CONSERVE WATER NOW 💧
In line with the Minister for Fiji Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport, Hon. Ro Filipe Tuisawau's call for careful water use, the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) is asking households, businesses, schools, and communities to prioritise essential water use and reduce unnecessary consumption.
For now, please:
❌ Put away the hose for washing cars and driveways
❌ Reduce unnecessary garden and lawn watering
❌ Avoid filling or topping up swimming pools
✅ Use water for essential needs
✅ Fix and report leaks
✅ Use buckets instead of hoses.
Fiji’s current El Niño event is likely to reach strong to very strong intensity and persist through the remainder of 2026 and into early 2027.
💧 Every litre conserved today strengthens our collective resilience.
SAVE WATER. USE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED.

FIJI'S WATER SOURCES UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE AS EL NIÑO CONDITIONS INTENSIFY
Fiji's water supply is coming under increasing pressure as prolonged dry conditions push 19 of the country's 44 operational water sources to critical levels, affecting approximately 24,600 people nationwide.
Minister for Fiji Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport, Hon. Ro Filipe Tuisawau, informed Parliament today (3 November 2026) that the Western and Northern Regions have reached Crisis Response levels, while the Central Eastern Region is under Early Action measures. The Western Region remains the hardest hit, with 18,798 people affected, followed by 3,510 in the North and 2,276 in the Central Eastern Region.
Of particular concern is Vaturu Dam, which supplies water to Nadi and approximately 70 per cent of Lautoka, serving around 223,000 people. The Minister warned that the dam could fall below its critical level around 8–9 November if current conditions persist. Fiji Meteorological Service forecasts indicate a very high chance of very dry conditions through December, with El Niño likely to remain strong into early 2027.
Minister Tuisawau urged households, businesses and communities to conserve water by limiting non-essential use, fixing leaking taps and avoiding activities such as washing cars and watering gardens. Government, through the Water Authority of Fiji and relevant agencies, continues to monitor water sources and coordinate measures to protect essential supplies.

James 5:17-18 [17]Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. [18]Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
