Public Advisory – Unplanned Water Disruption Notice

Due to a burst main beyond our control at the Navaca, Taveuni Crossing (under the bridge), our customers living in the areas listed below will experience a disruption in their water supply until further notice.

Additionally, because of the high turbidity (dirt in water) caused by flooding, we have had to halt operation of our Nacava Desalination Plant, which will also affect water restoration.
Affected areas:

  • Vuna DMA metered areas
  • Waimaqera
  • Navaca
  • Wainiyaku
  • Vatuwiri
  • Vuna Village
  • Paradise Resort
  • Waiyoba Estate
  • Nabouono
  • Ura Estate
  • Government School Quarters and health centres

Our teams are working towards rectifying the issue as soon as it is safely possible, once the rain stops and water levels drop.

Water carting trucks are on standby to service the affected areas during this disruption period, and can be requested through our toll-free short code 1507 (all mobile networks).

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding, until such time that supplies normalise.

For further enquiries, customers can call 3346777 or toll-free short code 5777 (all mobile networks) or email contact@waf.com.fj
