The planned water works at Waila for the connection of Viria Water Supply to the Waila Water Treatment Plant system have been completed successfully.

Minister for Fiji Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport, Hon. Ro Filipe Tuisawau inspected the work site and acknowledged the teams involved in the work.

"These works are essential and entailed about 20 hours of work to build resilience, redundancy and reliability in the Suva-Nausori Water Distribution Network," said Hon.Tuisawau.

WAF Chief Operating Officer, Seru Soderberg said that as of this morning (05/10), WAF teams were conducting flushing, and bleeding and had charged the pipeline from the Waila Water Treatment Plant to the Wainibuku Reservoir.

"Water flow should normalise to the Wainibuku Reservoir at around 3pm today (05/10) as we will focus on refilling reservoirs to operating levels. Restoration works to normalise supply should commence from midnight tonight into tomorrow morning (06/10) with anticipation to meet 90% restoration to affected areas," said Mr Soderberg.

WAF would like to thank its valued customers for their understanding and patience and for taking heed of the advice for storing water this weekend.

Water carting trucks are on standby to assist when needed.

Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience and thank our customers for their patience and understanding.

Hats off to WAF workforce and brains trust for the commendable work in ensuring a better supply of water to meet the growing demand. It's definitely not an easy task with the rapid development rate of residential, commercial and industrial developments around the highest populated area in our country.

Vinaka WAF ... now we can know what is being done and we are rest assured ... thank you for the updates

Vinaka Team WAF. Very well explained. Very responsible , considerate and professional. I also wish to thank who ever came up with this initiative and those who supported it despite widespread criticism and condemnation based on unfounded theories. WAF, you have emerged more organized and efficient in terms of your customer service and clean water 💦 supply . While we await too witness the outcome of this project, we are expecting consistent pressure especially at peak hours when we need it the most. Hats off to all those who have worked tirelessly behind the scene to get this to fruition. This capacity building was much needed to cater for the fast growing corridor which is mushrooming which industries , shopping malls and housing with an influx of accelerated migration from other parts of the country. Other service providers must also step up to meet the growing demands in terms of service delivery. May God bless Fiji 🇫🇯

Thank you WAF team. All the best with the works.

Thank you Team WAF for your efforts to improve our water supply system.

There's no water here due to burst main water pipe at Vuci South, Nausori. The Water Authority of Fiji was informed about it in the morning and it's night; still no water. I called and followed up and they said that the water will be restored soon. It's been almost an hour and there's no water.

Why is the water off in Lami?
