The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to advise its valued customers that a Planned Water Supply Disruptionwill take place 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟴:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟬𝟱 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝘁𝗼 𝟯:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟬𝟲 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.
The interruption is necessary to undertake the final cut-in and connection works at the Lawai Reservoir outlet. These works will connect the newly laid DN 600 DICL trunk mains to the existing DN 450 outlet trunk mains from Lawai reservoir and enable the upgraded trunk main to be commissioned successfully.
This is a critical stage of WAF's Sigatoka water supply infrastructure upgrade. The existing two PVC DN375 trunk mains, which convey water from Lawai Reservoir towards Voua Reservoir and supply Sigatoka Town and surrounding communities, have experienced recurring breaks and service interruptions over several years.
These failures have affected supply reliability and have required repeated emergency repairs, including recent works along Valley Road at Kedrakulu.
The new approximately 2.0-kilometre DN600 trunk main along Valley Road to the Sigatoka Town Roundabout is funded by the Government of Fiji and is approximately 85% complete.
Once the remaining works are completed and the main is fully commissioned, the upgraded system will provide greater hydraulic capacity, reduce reliance on the ageing DN375 mains, lower the risk of recurring bursts and unplanned disruptions, and support a more reliable and resilient water supply for existing customers and future demand in Sigatoka and surrounding areas. Full commissioning is currently scheduled for October 2026.
As a result of these works, customers in the following areas may experience low water pressure to no water supply during the stated period:
• Lawaqa DMA:Kedrakulu, Sigatoka Town, St. Joan of Arc School, Mission Road, Top End, Sigatoka Village, Yavulo Village
• Rakirakievu / Kulukulu DMA:Sigatoka District School, Sigatoka Hospital, Depot, Nasama Village, Vunavutu Village, Kulukulu Village, Sigatoka Methodist High School, Kulukulu Public School, Volivoli Village, Yavilotu and Tulalevu
• Yadua DMA:Yadua Village, Whole of Malaqereqere, Nadroga Sangam School, Yadua Bay Resort, True mart, Yadua Housing Sub-Division, Vuvale Resort.
• Korotogo Back Road DMA:Ramada Suites, Korotogo Village, Muasara Housing Sub-Division, Old Government Road, Andhra Sangam School, Bula Retreat Hotel, Sea View Hotel, Sewerage Road.
• Laselase_Olosara DMA:60 Zone, Temple Road, Muni Ratnal Sub-Division, Ram Singh Road, Lateef Road, Oloolo Road, Sigatoka Methodist Schools, Nayawa Village, Nayawa Sub-Division, Laselase Village and Naroro Village.
The cut-in works are expected to be completed by 3:00 AM on Sunday, 06 September 2026. Water supply will then be restored progressively as the system is recharged and reservoirs and pipelines recover. Customers in elevated areas and at the ends of the network may experience a longer recovery period, with full normalization expected by 8:00 PM on Sunday, 06 September 2026.
WAF strongly advises customers in the affected areas to store sufficient water in clean, covered containers for essential household needs for at least two to three days and to use stored water sparingly during the disruption and recovery period.
Water carting trucks will be deployed to assist affected communities, with priority given to essential services and critical needs.
WAF apologises for the inconvenience and appreciates the patience, understanding and cooperation of its customers while these critical works are carried out to strengthen water supply reliability and service delivery across the Sigatoka system.
For updates and further information, customers are encouraged to follow the Water Authority of Fiji's official Facebook page.
Customers may contact WAF on 334 6777 or 5777 (all mobile networks), via email at contact@waf.com.fj or visit the WAF website at www.waterauthority.com.fj
