‼Lowest Rainfall Records for October
📜Four meteorological stations recorded their lowest monthly rainfall totals for October.
These records are published in the Fiji Monthly Climate Summary, available on : www.met.gov.fj/climate-services/fiji-climate-summaries/
This morning, I read the report by fijivillage about the The Waka Family in Nanenivuda Village, Seaqaqa, Macuata, who had raised concerns about access to clean drinking water and reliable electricity.
After reading the report, I immediately asked my team in the office to follow up with the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) and establish the situation on the ground. I have since received an initial update from the WAF team, who visited Nanenivuda Village and met with the Turaga ni Koro, Mr Timilai Batisarisari.
According to the Turaga ni Koro, the current water supply is clean and clear.
He explained that the issue highlighted in the media report dates back to 2023, when the village water storage tank had not been cleaned. However, he confirmed that the issue was addressed at the time in 2023.
The WAF team also advised the Turaga ni Koro to contact their toll-free Call Centre on 1508 whenever assistance is required, including arranging water cart services where necessary.
I appreciate the WAF team for responding promptly and visiting the village.
Your Government believes that every Fijian, regardless of where they live, deserves access to basic services. Whether in our towns, rural communities or maritime islands, no family should feel forgotten.
Our responsibility is not simply to respond when an issue makes the news. It is to listen, follow up and ensure that people receive the essential services they deserve.
That is the kind of leadership I believe in.
U just making stories Sir, I think you are not aware what is going behind you and what water authority call center staffs are doing and the way they respond... I have heard the water cart have started charging $200 for water

Been taking precautions for many months already! No running taps, just bowls for dishwashing, then water goes in the veggie garden. Only flush once or twice a day. Very short showers.
Bula! We know it's tough to manage the current situation - but WAF should give us at least 'notice' (time frame) when complete shut downs happen in the neighbourhood (Nadi -Sonaisali)! But our questions are never answered ...Really: When we ask/send you a polite message - You say 'will be in touch shortly' - but you NEVER EVER follow up...very dissapointing ! 🙁 Vinaka.
