Public Advisory – Unplanned Water Disruption Notice

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our valued customers that due to the trough of low pressure and associated rains currently being faced by the country, customers in the areas listed below will experience low pressure to no water supply from now, until further notice.

These prevailing weather conditions heavily impact our water supply systems and production capabilities as they lead to the build up of flood waters, create high turbidity, cause pump breakdowns, and block dams.

All customers within the below water supply systems will be affected:

⚬ Suva
⚬ Nausori
⚬ Navua
⚬ Deuba
⚬ Sigatoka
⚬ Buabua
⚬ Ba
⚬ Tavua
⚬ Vatukoula
⚬ Rakiraki
⚬ Labasa
⚬ Nabouwalu
⚬ Savusavu
⚬ Taveuni

Customers in the above areas are kindly advised to store in their homes, when it is available, sufficient amounts of water to last them for at least 2 to 3 days and are requested to use water wisely during this temporary disruption period.

Water carting trucks are on standy and can be requested in case of an emergency by calling shortcode 1507 (all mobile networks).

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your understanding and patience until such time supplies normalise.

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