The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise its customers of a critical planned repair work along the DN600 trunk main supplying water from the Waila Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to the Wainibuku Reservoir

The repair works are scheduled to commence from 𝟮.𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟮𝟯 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, with restoration of water supply expected to begin from the early hours of 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟮𝟰 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

The leakage was identified earlier this week and isolated, with repair work deferred until the weekend to avoid disruptions to work and school.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆?

WAF, together with its contractor, will undertake urgent repairs on a major leakage identified on the tee connection between the DN900 Viria trunk main and the DN600 Waila–Wainibuku rising main located near the Waila Water Treatment Plant access road.

Investigations carried out earlier this week confirmed that the leakage has progressively worsened and is now resulting in significant water loss, resulting in operational strain on the Waila clear water pumping system, and reduced inflows to the Wainibuku Reservoir.

Should these repairs not be carried out immediately, there is a high risk of a sudden failure of the trunk main connection, which could result in a major and prolonged unplanned water outage affecting a much wider area within the Suva–Nausori water supply system.

By undertaking these works now under a controlled and planned shutdown, WAF aims to:

✅ Prevent a major trunk main failure;
✅ Reduce the risk of prolonged unplanned disruptions;
✅ Eliminate ongoing water losses from the leakage;
✅ Improve the reliability and resilience of the Waila–Wainibuku bulk supply system; and
✅ Safeguard water supply infrastructure servicing the greater Suva–Nausori corridor.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:

To facilitate the repairs, WAF will be required to isolate one of the three major DN600 and DN450 rising trunk mains supplying the Wainibuku Reservoir.

This will temporarily reduce the conveyance capacity and inflow to Wainibuku Reservoir by approximately 40%, requiring a corresponding reduction in water production at the Waila Water Treatment Plant.

As a result, customers supplied through Wainibuku Reservoir and dependent reservoir systems may experience:

☑️ Low water pressure;
☑️ Intermittent water supply; or
☑️ Temporary water outages during the repair period and subsequent reservoir recovery.

WAF teams will closely monitor reservoir levels and system recovery throughout the shutdown period. Priority will continue to be given to hospitals, essential services, and critical customers. Water carting trucks will also be deployed to assist affected areas where necessary.

𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀:

Areas affected will include the zones feeding from the Wainibuku Reservoir and other dependent reservoirs, namely Tovata Reservoir, Tacirua Reservoir, Kalabu Reservoir, Nasinu Reservoir and Flagstaff Reservoir

🌺 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 – 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 🇫🇯

Girmit Day is more than a historical observance. We pause to remember and honour the legacy of the Girmitiyas - the indentured labourers who arrived in Fiji from 1879, bringing with them strength, resilience, and hope in the face of immense hardship.

It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our ancestors, whose contributions helped shape modern Fiji, through agriculture, culture, as well as nation-building.

As we reflect, we also celebrate the diversity and unity that define us as a nation today. The Girmit story is one of endurance, identity, and the forging of a multicultural Fiji we are proud to call home.

In observance of this important public holiday, all Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) branches will be closed on Friday, 15th May 2026.

Let us continue to honour this legacy by building understanding, compassion, and unity for generations to come.
