The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF), with support from the Fiji Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport, Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development and Disaster Management & Fiji NDMO, has delivered 170,000 litres of water to communities, schools and health facilities across Malolo, Yanuya and surrounding maritime areas as part of ongoing efforts to respond to the impacts of El Niño and prolonged dry conditions.

A ten-member WAF team, supported by two District Officers from Sigatoka and Yasawa, departed Lautoka Wharf at 3 am on Monday to begin the operation, targeting communities and essential facilities facing water needs.

The water carting relief efforts covered Ratu Lalabalavu Secondary School, Malolo District School, Malolo Health Centre, Solevu Village, Yaro Village, Yanuya Village, Mamanuca Primary School, Yanuya Nursing Station, Tavua Village, Motu Kindergarten and SDA Primary School on Mana Island, providing critical support to the identified communities as well as essential services.

The operation forms part of WAF’s ongoing efforts to maintain access to safe and reliable water for communities and critical facilities affected by the impacts of El Niño.

The coordinated response between WAF and the Ministry of Maritime and Rural Development highlights the Government’s commitment to supporting maritime communities facing water security challenges during the El Niño.

WAF teams will continue to assess water needs and coordinate further water carting operations where required as dry conditions persist.

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) advises customers and residents that WAF's operations team has attended to and resolved a reported wastewater blockage and overflow along Matanikorovatu Road in Makoi.

Following an investigation, WAF confirmed that the overflow was caused by a blockage in the wastewater network resulting from clothing and foreign objects that had been illegally dumped into WAF’s wastewater infrastructure.

WAF reminds customers that the wastewater network is designed to convey wastewater only. Disposing of clothing, wipes, plastics, sanitary products, and other foreign materials into the wastewater system can cause significant blockages, leading to unwanted overflows that pose environmental and public health risks and create unnecessary operational and maintenance costs.

WAF is urging all customers and communities to play their part in protecting wastewater infrastructure by disposing of waste appropriately and ensuring that only wastewater enters the network.

WAF appreciates the concerns raised by residents and thanks the community for promptly reporting the issue. The Authority remains committed to maintaining reliable wastewater services and responding swiftly to incidents that may affect public health and the environment.

Members of the public are encouraged to report water- or wastewater-related issues by calling WAF on 3346777 or 5777 for all network users.
