UPDATE ON WATER SUPPLY RESTORATION FOLLOWING TROPICAL CYCLONE URMIL

The Minister for Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport, Hon. Ro Filipe Tuisawau, has provided an update on the restoration of water supply services following the impact of Tropical Cyclone Urmil and the associated heavy rainfall and flooding experienced across parts of the country.

The severe weather brought intense rainfall across several water catchments, resulting in extremely high turbidity levels in raw water sources, intake blockages, flooding of pump stations and damage to sections of raw water pipelines. These conditions temporarily disrupted water production and supply in several areas across the Western, Central and Northern Divisions.

During periods of extreme rainfall, rivers and raw water sources can experience very high turbidity levels caused by sediment and debris being washed into catchments. These conditions make it significantly more difficult for treatment plants to produce safe drinking water and can temporarily reduce production while treatment processes stabilise.

#MediaUpdate - Water Supply Update Following TC Urmil Impacts

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to advise customers that persistent heavy rainfall and major flooding experienced across the country as a result of Tropical Cyclone Urmil have impacted some of our water supply operations, particularly within parts of the Western Division.

The continuous rainfall has resulted in flooding of raw water sources at Narara intake, Nakasia intake, Qalau raw water pump station, Nasivi raw water pump station, Waica intake, Varaciva & Waiwai dams, Buabua, Nalau & Varaqe dams and Keiaysi river intake, high turbidity levels, clogged intake screens, and access challenges to key treatment facilities and pumping stations. These conditions have temporarily reduced production capacity in Tavua, Ba, Lautoka and Sigatoka and may result in intermittent supply disruptions, reduced water pressure, or water rationing in affected communities.

Despite these challenging conditions, most of WAF’s major water treatment plants and distribution systems remain operational. Our teams are closely monitoring all systems and continue to manage production, divert supply to essential areas, and maintain services where possible. Water carting services have been deployed to support affected customers, including residential areas, businesses, and critical services.

In several locations, restoration and inspection works cannot be carried out immediately due to flooding, unsafe access routes, and ongoing severe weather conditions. WAF teams will be deployed to affected sites to undertake cleaning, repairs, and restoration works once weather conditions improve and when it is practically safe to do so.

Customers in some elevated and low-pressure areas, particularly in parts of the Western Division, may continue to experience temporary supply interruptions until floodwaters recede and full operations can be safely restored.

We kindly request customers to use water wisely during this period and store sufficient water for essential household needs. Customers are also encouraged to secure water storage tanks, keep storage containers clean and covered, and report any major leaks or supply issues through WAF’s customer service channels.

The Water Authority of Fiji sincerely appreciates the public’s patience and understanding as our teams continue to respond to the impacts of this severe weather event and work towards full restoration of services.

WAF will continue to provide updates as the situation progresses.
