Thanks for the update

Things are bound to happen. Water disruptions, infrastructure failures and unexpected challenges are part of managing a national water supply system. However, the real question is: how prepared are we to anticipate these challenges and minimise their impact on ordinary citizens? We need to move away from constantly reacting to water shortages and start investing in innovative, forward-thinking solutions that strengthen our water security. Fiji has been blessed with abundant rainfall, yet we continue to experience water shortages and disruptions. It raises an important question: Are we doing enough to capture, store, manage and distribute the water resources available to us? Perhaps it is time for the Water Authority of Fiji to think beyond conventional approaches and explore more innovative solutions. Some ideas worth considering: 1. Strategic water storage facilities: Install large-capacity water storage tanks and reservoirs at strategic locations across urban, peri-urban and rural communities. These could serve as reserve supplies during periods of drought, infrastructure maintenance or unexpected disruptions. 2. Rainwater harvesting infrastructure:Invest in large-scale rainwater harvesting systems, particularly in communities, public institutions, schools and government facilities, to supplement existing water supply networks. 3. Decentralised water storage:Rather than depending entirely on a few centralised treatment and distribution facilities, develop smaller, strategically located water storage systems that can support communities independently when the main network experiences disruptions. 4. Smart water management systems:Embrace modern technology, including real-time monitoring, automated leak detection and predictive maintenance, to identify potential infrastructure failures before they become major problems. 5. Infrastructure investment and expansion: Continuously assess whether existing treatment plants, pipelines, pumping stations and distribution networks have the capacity to meet the growing demands of our population. 6. Climate-resilient water infrastructure:With climate change bringing greater uncertainty through extreme rainfall, prolonged dry periods and tropical cyclones, our water infrastructure must be designed to withstand these changing conditions. 7. Community-level water security:Encourage partnerships with communities, local authorities and the private sector to develop supplementary water storage and harvesting initiatives. Of course, these ideas require proper technical assessments, investment, maintenance and long-term planning. But innovation begins with recognising that the way we have always done things may no longer be sufficient for the challenges ahead. We cannot continue to wait for a water crisis before looking for solutions. Water security is not simply about supplying water when the taps are running dry. It is about having the infrastructure, capacity, technology and contingency plans to ensure that people have reliable access to water even when challenges arise. The Water Authority of Fiji has an important responsibility, but addressing water security also requires long-term national planning and investment. Our population is growing, our climate is changing, and our infrastructure must evolve accordingly. Let's move from a culture of reaction to a culture of anticipation, innovation and preparedness. We should not just be asking how to restore water supply after a disruption. We should be asking what investments and innovations are needed today to prevent tomorrow's disruption. Fiji deserves a water system that is resilient, reliable and prepared for the future. Proactive planning is not a luxury; it is a necessity!

This is bullshit news. It's all planned and controlled. Wakeup people. It's happening worldwide with water, fuel, food shortages and soon they will come for your bank accounts and begin freezing them. It's a worldwide campaign to bring in the 2030 agenda of control and surveillance (to enable the mark of the beast) . Look at what they did to Vietnam last year (4 million people locked out of their own bank accounts unless everyone surrendered to digitalisation control) and overnight it's happened to Paraguay. They've engineered el Nino to justify food shortages too. My advice is stockpile on food and water for your families, withdraw your cash. STOP TRUSTING the Government. They were behind the CONvid PLANdemic poison CLOTshot that killed so many and the evidence is surfacing. Rabuka and crew are all in on it. In fact they will receive big money for rolling out this deception. If you haven't come to Christ yet, think about it. The rapture is near.

According to the time stamp this was posted after the 9pm start time. The announcement of these measures should have happened before they were implemented. Give people notice so they can prepare. That’s the whole point of notifying the public. It’s not meant to be an FYI after the fact. Decisions affecting the public seem to be made on a whim rather than with proper planning and consideration. Guess not surprising when even the criminal PM isn’t interested in doing his job.
