𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗟/𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to update customers in the Central/Eastern Division on the current heavy rainfall and its effect on water supply in some areas.

During periods of sustained rain, river and catchment water naturally carries more sediment, which our treatment plants must work harder to process. As a result, some customers in the areas listed below may notice lower water pressure or short interruptions to supply over the coming period. Our teams are actively managing operations to keep supply flowing to as many customers as possible.

Current situation at Tamavua Water Treatment Plant

Following the heavy rain across the Waimanu, Savura and HW3 catchments overnight on 15 June, raw water entering the Tamavua plant has been carrying higher-than-usual sediment levels. Our operators have adjusted treatment processes in response, and the plant remains in operation, currently producing at around 84% of its normal output.

To make the best use of available supply while production is adjusted, we are carefully balancing flows across the network. This is a standard response during wet-weather events and helps ensure water continues to reach as many homes as possible. Importantly, all water leaving our plants continues to meet drinking water quality standards.

While these measures are in place, customers in the following areas may experience reduced pressure or intermittent supply:

Upper Namadi Heights, Princess Road, Rewa Street, Ratu Sukuna, Nailuva, Delainivesi, high-elevation Lami areas, Panoramic, Waiqanake, Togalevu, Wrong Turn, Upper Sakoca, Upper Khalsa, Tacirua Heights, Nagatugatu, Colo-i-Suva and Dokanisuva.

Other areas affected by the rainfall

Wet-weather conditions are also affecting supply at the following plants and their service areas. Customers in these areas may experience similar short-term disruptions:

• Naboro WTP — including Naboro Correctional Facility, Gilberties, Naboro School, Naboro Dog Unit, Wainisalato Settlement and Kalokolevu Village.
• Navua supply zone — including Naimelimeli Hospital, Naimelimeli Village, Tokotoko, Tokotoko Back Road, Toguru, Qaributa West, Taiperia Calia Back Road, Calia Road, Waiyanitu and Raiwaqa.
• Deuba WTP and its service areas.
• Vunidawa WTP and its service areas.
• Namau WTP and its service areas, including the high-elevation areas of Naitutu.

A few simple steps can help

As a precaution during wet weather, we encourage customers to:

• Keep a small supply of water on hand for drinking, cooking and sanitation.
• Use water thoughtfully while conditions settle.
• Ease back on non-essential use where you can, which helps supply reach more households.

WAF teams are monitoring all affected sites and working steadily to return supply to normal as soon as conditions allow. We will keep customers informed as the situation improves.

For updates or assistance, please contact the WAF Call Centre on 3346777 or shortcode 5777.

We thank our customers for their patience and understanding during this period of wet weather.

NATIONAL WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND SANITATION POLICY

Cabinet has approved the National Water Resources Management and Sanitation Policy, a major step towards strengthening the sustainable management of Fiji’s water resources and improving water and sanitation services for communities across the country.

The new Policy provides a clear framework to improve water security, strengthen sanitation services, build climate resilience and better protect Fiji’s rivers, watersheds and other vital water resources. It also promotes better planning, stronger monitoring systems, watershed protection, and improved preparedness for floods and droughts.

Importantly, the Policy aims to ensure all communities have fair and reliable access to safe water and sanitation services while supporting public health, environmental sustainability and national development.

Aligned with Fiji’s National Development Plan, National Adaptation Plan and broader climate resilience goals, the Policy will help guide long-term improvements in water service delivery and strengthen Fiji’s ability to respond to climate-related challenges now and into the future.
